China Mengniu Dairy destroys contaminated milk

DBR Staff Writer Published 28 December 2011

China Mengniu Dairy has destroyed milk and products after the government's quality watchdog, the General Administration of Quality Supervision Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), found elevated levels of a carcinogen in a batch of its milk.

The Inner Mongolia-based dairy producer said that AQSIQ testers conducted a random check at one of its plants in Meishan, in the southwestern province of Sichuan, and found excessive aflatoxin - a substance that can cause liver cancer.

The company spokesman Lu Jianjun said cattle that had eaten rotting, mildewed hay produced milk with excess levels of the chemical aflatoxin, reported wsj.com.

"Mengniu plans to increase oversight of its suppliers to ensure that cattle feed is properly stored and doesn't collect mildew. We plan to help farmers more in the future to prevent future incidents," Lu said.
