Overcharging leads to buying overseas
Print Edition
A Chinese official blamed overcharging by foreign infant formula producers in China as a leading cause for the people’s binge-buying of milk powder overseas.
Chinese buyers’ distrust of domestic brand quality is also to blame for the buying spree, Jiang Yujun, deputy director of a dairy industry technology research center, said at a press conference yesterday.
Some foreign brands that sell for about 130 yuan (US$21) in Europe may cost up to 470 yuan in China, said Jiang, adding that it is safe to consume domestic brands.
Ma Chunliang, an official with the China Food and Drug Administration attending the press conference, said China will ensure that what people buy through the Internet is also safe.
