China's Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said it identified 15 more companies producing contaminated dairy products, Bloomberg reports.
The government published a new report on its website saying "about 31
batches of adult milk powder contained the chemical melamine." These
batches were obtained from companies that have so far not been involved
with the scandal. The total number of Chinese companies using melamine
for faking protein levels in their products has now increased to 37.
Chinese officials have promised foreign diplomats to halt exports of
dairy products until the melamine contamination is eliminated, AFP
reports. The scandal widens as more than 20 countries have banned
Chinese milk products.
