Preliminary tests have found that fish feed made from contaminated squid powder, which was reportedly found in the Republic of Korea, was not supplied by Chinese exporters.

 

Korean media had reported that locally distributed fish feed was found to be contaminated with the chemical melamine, the same toxic substance that is causing China’s current dairy industry scandal.

The Korean government said it had found traces of the chemical in feed made by a domestic company that produced the feed from powdered squid intestines, which were reportedly supplied from both Korea and China, and had been supplied to 16 fish farms since March.

Of the 619 tonnes of feed produced by the Korean company, 29 tonnes have now been recalled.
