Latest melamine test results (with table)
The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) today (November 14) released the latest batch of results of melamine tests.
The results showed that all 57 samples tested were satisfactory. These included milk, pork and eggs.
"Test results for milk, milk powder, infant formula and baby food will be available tomorrow," a government spokesman said.
Information on the test results can be found on the CFS's website, www.cfs.gov.hk . People can also call the CFS's enquiry number 2381 6096 which operates from 9am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, and 9am to 1pm on Saturdays.
Meanwhile, melamine test results of all six chicken feed samples available today were satisfactory. The samples were collected from six local chicken farms for testing. Places of origin included the Mainland, the United States and Thailand.
"We advise local fish and livestock farmers to request their feed suppliers to ascertain that the feed they supply does not contain melamine when sourcing animal feed.
"They should report to the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department any irregularities of their farmed animals suspected to be related to melamine tainted feed," the spokesman said.
