中国对牛奶和其他奶制品中的三聚氰胺含量进行限制，试图控制最近食品安全丑闻所带来的危害。中国卫生部官员今天(星期三)宣布，每公斤婴儿配方奶粉中三聚氰胺的限量为一毫克。每公斤液态奶和其他奶制品中的三聚氰胺含量不得超过两点五毫克。
这名官员说，用于塑料和其他工业产品中的三聚氰胺可能透过包装渗入食品。但他警告奶制品生产者说，故意在食品中添加三聚氰胺是被禁止的。
在添加三聚氰胺的中国奶制品导致中国5万多名婴儿患病和4名婴儿死亡后，50多个国家已经召回或禁止中国生产的牛奶和其他有关食品。
China is limiting the amount of melamine that can be in milk and other dairy products, as it seeks to contain the damage over its latest product safety scandal. Health Ministry official Wang Xuening announced today (Wednesday) that the melamine limit for baby formula is one milligram of the industrial chemical per kilogram. Liquid milk and other dairy products can not go above two-point-five milligrams per kilogram.
Wang says melamine, which is used in plastics and other industrial products, can seep into food through its packaging. But he warned dairy producers that deliberately adding melamine to food products is prohibited.
More than 50 governments have recalled or banned Chinese-made milk and other products after melamine-laced products sickened more than 50-thousand infants and killed four others.
