According to Malaysiakini, Singapore found 17 types of biscuits from Malaysia to be tainted with melamine. Two of them are familiar names like Lotte Koala and Julie’s.
Singapore has discovered toxic chemical melamine in 20 more products from China and Malaysia, taking its total to 33, authorities said.
Three Chinese products and 17 biscuit items from Malaysia were found to contain melamine, the industrial chemical at the centre of a toxic milk scandal which has rocked China’s dairy sector.
The affected items include popular products such as Lotte Koala biscuits and Julie’s crackers, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) said in a statement seen on its website on Saturday.
I have provided the link to the AVA website which includes the list of the biscuits. The document is in .pdf file and can be found here. The authority also provides a table of the tolerable levels an adult person and child consume. They give an indication of the number of packs we eat in a lifetime before we are affected. Very detail, huh?
The full news of the above is on Malaysiakini.
