Inspectors take imported powder milk samples from Hanoi Milk Joint Stock Company (Hanoimilk) Wednesday

More than 393 tons of melamine-contaminated milk powder imported from China will be sent back and 384 tons of contaminated liquid milk and milk ingredients destroyed, a health official said Thursday.

This was agreed at a meeting in Hanoi Thursday by representatives from the ministries of Industry and Trade; Agriculture and Rural Development; Natural Resources and Environment; Foreign Affairs; Public Security; Science and Technology; and Health, Deputy Minister of Health Cao Minh Quang said.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will decide on the technical process to destroy the dirty milk by November 5.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development representative said at the meeting that milk of bad quality or unidentified source cannot be used for raising animals.

Quang said at the meeting that melamine is not allowed in cooking in general and in milk and its products in particular.
