FIVE more products imported from China have been found to contain melamine, bringing the number of tainted Chinese diary products in Singapore to eight.

Two are flavoured milk and three are confectioneries containing milk powder as an ingredient, said the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) in a statement on Wednesday.

The affected items are:

1. Dutch Lady Banana Flavoured Milk

2. Dutch Lady Honeydew Flavoured Milk

3. Silang - House of Steamed Potato - Potato Cracker

4. Xu Fu Ji Puffed Rice Rolls - Butter Corn Flavour; and

5. Xu Fu Ji Puffed Rice Rolls - Cheese Flavour

The products that were earlier found to be contaminated with melamine are Yi Li Choice Dairy Fruit Bar Yogurt Flavoured Ice Confection, Dutch Lady Strawberry Flavoured Milk and White Rabbit Creamy Candy.

The AVA would like to remind the public not to be unduly concerned as it has suspended the import and sale of all milk and milk products from China since Sept 19.

It would also like to assure the public that the levels of melamine detected in the products are low and hence unlikely to result in adverse health effects.
