Reports over the weekend claim China’s health ministry could find no evidence that milk powder linked to New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra had caused infant girls breasts to grow.
Despite that assurance, Fonterra is continuing with tests of its own on samples which are kept from every shipment.
Last week it was reported that Chinese authorities were investigating claims milk powder sold by Chinese company Synutra International contained hormones that led to three infant girls growing breasts.
Fonterra confirmed it supplied milk powder to the company but was confident there was no basis to any link between hormones and its own products.
On Sunday Xinhua news agency in China reported that testing found no unusual hormone levels following the claims.
Fonterra spokesman Graeme McMillan said the results of the company’s own tests would be known next week.
