NZ dairy giant Fonterra accepts 4 charges lodged by China in whey protein scare
Online Edition
NEW Zealand dairy giant Fonterra said it accepted all four charges by the Ministry for Primary Industries over the contamination scare of whey protein concentrate last year.
The government today filed charges against the company for processing dairy products not in accordance with risk control standards, exporting dairy products that failed to meet relevant animal product standards, and failing to timely inform the government of risk and quality concerns.
“We have accepted all four charges, which are consistent with the findings of our operational review, and the independent board inquiry,” Fonterra Managing Director Maury Leyland said in a statement.
Fonterra will face fines of up to NZ$500,000 (US$426,000).
In September, Fonterra recalled its whey protein concentrate from various countries after it claimed possible contamination from clostridium botulinum, raising fears that infant formula and sports drinks made from the product and widely exported could be potentially dangerous.
It turned out to be a false alarm when the company later confirmed that the whey protein concentrate involved in the scare contained another kind of bacteria that didn’t present a danger to health.
