The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China announced yesterday that it has finished testing 224 samples of dairy products including skimmed milk powder, whole milk powder, whey powder, infant formula milk powder etc. from 18 countries and regions, and no melamine was detected.
It is also learned that in recent days, many websites have been spreading rumors that "foreign infant formula will raise prices comprehensively once again". Since foreign capital baby milk powder has already occupied half of the domestic high-end infant formula market, some citizens are worried about being subject to price monopoly of foreign milk powder. It is learned that Mead Johnson, the overlord of the domestic high-end infant formula market, has taken the lead in launching an upgraded formula milk powder whose price increase幅度exceeds 15% compared with the product before upgrade. However, there are still no Abbott or Wyeth etc. foreign milk powders that have raised prices.
