KOTA KINABALU, Oct 4 - The Health Ministry is now on high alert over melamine-tainted vegetables imported from China.
"We have learnt from Korea that they have detected a high level of melamine in vegetables they import from China," said Health Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai.
"We have launched a level 4 check on all food products from China where we will take samples to ensure the products are safe for consumption before releasing it into the market," he told reporters after attending the Sabah MCA convention here today.
Liow assured that food products sold in the country were at the permissible level of 2.5 parts per million (ppm) of melamine while baby products contained one ppm. - Bernama
