MEAT products, preserved eggs and animal feed from China that have been tested so far are melamine-free, said the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA).
AVA spokesman Goh Shih Yong told my paper yesterday: "Salted and preserved duck eggs from China and meat products such as canned luncheon meat have tested negative for melamine."
In Hong Kong and China last month, three brands of chicken eggs from China had tested positive for excessive levels of melamine, which led to their recall from retailers in Hong Kong.
China also halted exports from major egg company Hanwei Group, whose eggs were found to contain almost double the legal melamine limit for foodstuffs in Hong Kong.
Mr Goh said that the only eggs imported from China are preserved and salted duck eggs.
Singapore does not import fresh chicken eggs from China. Most are imported from Malaysia from AVA-accredited farms. The rest are produced locally.
The AVA will continue testing China-made food products. The tests have been expanded to include products high in protein, meat products and animal feed.
To date, over 3,200 types of milk and milk products, chocolates, biscuits, non-dairy creamers and other foodstuffs have been tested.
The number of melamine-tainted items found in Singapore has risen to 33 since the start of the global food scandal in September.
