Ban imposed on Indonesian seafood
|
| 06-Aug-2007 - China daily |
China has banned Indonesian seafood after checks turned up dangerous contamination, the Beijing government's food regulator said.
The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said on its Website late Friday that seafood shipments shipped after that date would be returned or destroyed.
Seafood received before Friday will be carefully inspected, the agency said.
The announcement did not cite any specific seafood products but the Chinese administration said Indonesian products have been found to contain mercury and cadmium, metals that can accumulate in water and soil from burning garbage, mining or other industrial processes. Both contaminants also have been linked to nerve damage, cancer, and other health problems.
The agency also said Indonesian products had been found to contain nitrofural, an anti-bacterial agent that could cause cancer in laboratory animals. |
