The New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) has updated its table of foods tested for melamine presence. Most of the products tested show no presence of melamine; however, one Chinese import, a milk-based drink called ‘Wahaha AD milk drink’ in 100 mL bottles, contained 3.3 ppm of melamine.
NZFSA assessed the risks to consumers and advised that the level is below established safety limits and is unlikely to pose any health risk.
Once informed of the test result, the importer of the sampled product voluntarily remove it from his shop shelves.
The results, including risk assessments for products where melamine was detected, are available online at www.nzfsa.govt.nz/consumers/chemicals-nutrients-additives-and-toxins/melamine/index.htm.
