HONG KONG — Hong Kong authorities says they have found an industrial chemical in Chinese-made biscuit sticks, walnut and coconut cakes.
The Center for Food Safety says in a statement issued Tuesday that it found melamine in Pocky Men’s coffee cream coated biscuit stick, which is produced by Japanese brand Ezaki Glico Co. Ltd.
Two other samples of coconut and walnut cakes manufactured by Tian Le Yuan Foods Co. Ltd. in southern China were also found to contain melamine.
A man who answered the phone at Ezaki Glico in Japan says he has no information about the contamination. He refused to give his name because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
