AVA allows some China-made milk products to be back on sale
SINGAPORE: The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) has given the go-ahead for some China milk products to be put back on sale with immediate effect. These include butter, ghee and non-dairy creamer.
Over the next three weeks, AVA will continue testing other China-made products and those deemed safe will return to the stores.
The first batch of approved products passed two rounds of tests and are deemed low-risk.
Also falling under the same category were products made in China with milk from other countries.
But local importers will have to give documentary proof of the milk's origin to AVA and the products must undergo tests before they can be brought in.
