subject: U.s. Fda On Baby Milk Powder Containing Melamine Attitude Change [print this page] 28, for the content of melamine in baby milk powder to set the standard: If the milk does not contain both melamine and cyanuric acid derivatives, and any person not more than parts per million, compared to security products.
Food and Drug Administration officials said that under this new standard, a few days ago has been detected in this sector with "traces" of melamine in two US-produced milk, "no security problem."
Set standards Subordinate Food and Drug Administration Food Safety and Applied Nutrition director Stephen? Sendeluofu 28, announced at a press conference on the above criteria.
He said, only if the infant formula containing melamine or cyanuric acid, and the content in parts per million less, will not pose any health risk to humans. Thus, "(U.S.) domestic infant formula is safe."
Food and Drug Administration announced the test results 25 show that Mead Johnson EnfamilLIPIL iron infant formula samples traces of melamine, Nestle GoodStart strengthen the iron infant formula samples contained traces of cyanuric acid, two levels are much lower only one in one million points.
"(Melamine) were very low ... ... that they will not cause any health effects to the baby," he said, "Parents should continue using these U.S. production of infant formula."
Change of attitude In accordance with the Food and Drug Administration over a month ago to say, the baby, any content of melamine have no security to speak of.
Food and Drug Administration on Oct. 3 issued a statement on its website that the milk containing melamine "zero tolerance" attitude. The statement said that the researchers can not work out for the baby food safe levels of melamine and its derivatives range, because these chemicals not yet determined the long-term effects on the baby.
And two well-known in the U.S. milk production has been detected to contain traces of melamine after a few days, the Food and Drug Administration rapid change of attitude, melamine designated "security line."
Sendeluofu Associated Press quoted the words of 28 reports, the new standards are not based on new data, but the Food and Drug Administration authority "believe" melamine or cyanuric acid content of no more than one millionth of milk powder is a safe product.
Sendeluofu emphasized that Mead Johnson and Nestle milk powder were only two separate melamine or cyanuric acid. Whether these two chemicals exist, the development of the milk safety standards is essential.
He said animal studies showed that intake of melamine alone did not cause damage to the rats. The mixture of melamine and cyanuric acid will form yellow crystals, may be detrimental to the kidney. However, the role for the combination of the two studies is not complete.
Do not do speculation Sendeluofu said that some food packaging, such as wall paint cans containing melamine; and cyanuric acid can be used for cleaning equipment. The Administration is not clear why some milk samples to detect chemical substances, while others do not.
"I do not know why," he said, "I do not want to guess why it (melamine or cyanuric acid) occurs in some samples, in others there in Quemei, because at this stage we do not know the true answer. "
Consumer groups is clearly not satisfied with the Food and Drug Administration made explanations on the 28th. U.S. consumer rights group, "Environmental Working Group," senior analyst Sonya? Rendell said: "The Food and Drug Administration and the infant formula manufacturers owe their parents a commitment to the establishment of restrictions as soon as possible to prevent the emergence of baby milk powder in these present pollution can be avoided, while providing data that trace
