The Viet Nam Food Administration yesterday said that imported milk products from the Shaya Limited Company in China that may be carcinogenic were not on sale in Viet Nam.
HA NOI —
The confirmation was made after the department was warned that five packets of milk products from the Shaya Limited Company had been found to contain levels of Aflatoxin M1 beyond the permitted level following recent inspections by the National Food Quality Supervision and Inspection Centre of China.
Aflatoxin M1, a strain of fungi found in cereal and soybean, has been classified by the World Health Organisation as a Group 1 carcinogen.-VNS
