The requirements have been in place since 2008, when melamine - a chemical used to make plastic - was detected in infant milk products produced in China in a scandal that rocked the country's dairy industry.
SFA added that these measures covered the breeding of dairy cattle, the purchase of fresh and raw milk, and the transport of fresh and raw milk to dairy processing establishments. These manufacturers are required to test each batch of their raw materials and end products to ensure that they are not contaminated with melamine.
While the melamine-related import requirements will be removed from Nov 1, milk and milk products imported from China – including liquid milk, milk powder, cheese, butter, ice cream and yogurt – will continue to be subjected to SFA checks and must also comply with other existing requirements for such imports, the agency added.
