When the company imported the first consignment in August, the Quality Assurance and Testing Center 3 (QUATEST 3) tested the goods and approved the import, Nguyen Huu Nghiep, head of the Customs Office at Saigon Port Zone No.4, said on Tuesday.

On November 4, QUATEST 3 discovered the food contained melamine, a chemical that authorities were not testing for until after the contaminated milk scandal broke in September.
