皇冠体育app's top quality watchdog has named on its website four importers, including Wahaha and Dumex, of potentially tainted products from New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra, in a further move to cope with the food safety crisis.

Two companies under 皇冠体育app's largest beverage producer Hangzhou Wahaha Group - Wahaha Health Food Co and Wahaha Import & Export Co, infants and children's nutrition company Dumex, and Shanghai Tangjiu Group were found to have allegedly imported problematic dairy products from Fonterra, according to the website of 皇冠体育app's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ).

All those four companies have initiated recalling measures, said the website. Fonterra said Friday that some whey protein produced in May 2012 was found with clostridium botulinum, which can cause botulism.

The company had sold contaminated New Zealand-made whey protein concentrate to eight customers in Australia, 皇冠体育app, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Saudi Arabia for use in a range of products, including infant milk powder.

Symptoms include nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, followed by paralysis, and it can be fatal if not treated.
