Singapore finds melamine in third China product
(09-22 10:47)
Singapore has found the potentially deadly chemical melamine in a third milk product imported from China, authorities said.
New laboratory findings showed White Rabbit Creamy Candy from China is also contaminated with melamine, the city-state's government revealed.
Melamine is at the centre of a widening food safety scandal in China, where authorities said nearly 13,000 children were in hospital Sunday after drinking toxic milk powder.
On Friday, Singapore suspended the import and sale of all milk and milk products from China after local tests found samples containing melamine, which is used to make plastics.
