POLICE in northern China's Shanxi Province have arrested seven executives of a dairy company over the selling of 26 tons of melamine-laced milk powder which should have been destroyed following the 2008 nationwide scandal.
The Jinfulai Diary Co in Yangquan County was found to have mixed the tainted powder with fresh milk and resold it to central China's Hunan and Hebei provinces from December last year, yesterday's Procuratorial Daily said. The powder had been given by another company, whose name was not revealed, as debt payment.
Regulators said they discovered the contaminated milk powder in a nationwide crackdown in July.
The Ministry of Commerce had ordered all dairy companies to destroy all milk contaminated with melamine after six babies died and 300,000 people were sickened.
Two years after the recall, however, some contaminated milk still sneaked into the market after being processed and repackaged.
Regulators seized 25,000 tons of tainted milk powder in a crackdown in February, said the newspaper. In Shanghai, inspectors closed the Shanghai Panda Dairy Co in January for producing and selling products containing the tainted powder.
The executives of several companies and factories in Shaanxi and Guangdong provinces were also caught in the crackdown after the re-emergence of the milk powder earlier this year.
