Samples of milk powder manufactured by two companies for the local market have been sent to the Government Analysts Department for tests after identifying traces of Hydrogen Peroxide in the powder.
An official from the Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) told us that the milk powder samples have been sent to the Government Analysts Department by the Authority following a complaint that some milk powders contained chemical substances.
However, one report had been received and it had stated that the chemicals used to clean the machinery may have mixed with the milk powder in the manufacturing process.
The CAA official said that the decision on whether to stop the manufacturing process of the two companies would be made after receiving the other report as well.
