DEHP ban stepped up

CHINESE mainland's quality authority has stepped up its ban on imports of products from Taiwan contaminated by an industrial chemical used to soften plastic products.

In its latest update on the import ban, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) said the mainland would suspend imports of 812 kinds of products, including beverages, food products and food additives.

The list is much longer than the original one issued by AQSIQ on Wednesday, when the quality watchdog said the mainland would suspend imports of 22 kinds of beverages, food products and food additives from Taiwan that are produced by companies suspected of using bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP).

The food safety commission under the State Council has also ordered increased inspections and instant recalls of products contaminated with DEHP.
