That advisory also warned members of Chinese communities in the United States that infant formula manufactured in China, possibly available for purchase at Asian markets, could pose a risk to infants. The FDA had contacted the companies who manufacture infant formula for distribution in the United States and received, from the companies, information that they are not importing formula or sourcing milk-based materials from China. At the same time, the FDA─in conjunction with state and local officials─ began a nation-wide investigation to check Asian markets for Chinese manufactured infant formula that may have been brought into the United States. In particular, this effort focused on areas of the country with large Chinese communities, such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and New York. To date, investigators have visited more than 1,000 retail markets and have not found Chinese infant formula present on shelves in these markets. In addition, the FDA is advising consumers not to purchase infant formula manufactured in China from internet sites or from other sources. The FDA has taken, and will continue to take, proactive measures to help ensure the safety of the American food supply. In conjunction with state and local officials, the FDA will continue to check Asian markets for food items that are imported from China and that could contain a significant amount of milk or milk proteins. In addition, the FDA has broadened its domestic and import sampling and testing of milk-derived ingredients and finished food products containing milk, such as candies, desserts, and beverages that could contain these ingredients from Chinese sources. Milk-derived ingredients include whole milk powder, non-fat milk powder, whey powder, lactose powder, and casein. This sampling and testing is done when these ingredients or products are imported into the United States or found during visits to Asian markets. If the products are adulterated because they contain melamine and/or a melamine analog, the FDA will take action to prevent the products from entering the U.S. food supply. In addition to state and local governments, the FDA is working in close cooperation with Customs and Border Protection within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, other federal agencies, and foreign governments. http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2008/NEW01889.html 9/24/2008 於 美國 俄亥俄州立大學 病理系 美國醫學教育博客: http://www./pc/index.php?id=USMedEdu (面對全球網站) http://www./pc/index.php?id=USMedEdu (大陸鏡像網站) 溫柔一刀_力刀博客： http://www./pc/index.php?id=dokknife (面對全球網站) http://www.mitbbs.c/pc/index.php?id=dokknife (大陸鏡像網站) 刀客論壇: www.dok-forum.net
