SEOUL — South Korea has banned the import of Italy’s best mozzarella after reports some cheese was made with milk contaminated with cancer-causing dioxin, an official said on Monday.
South Korea halted the entry of buffalo mozzarella at the weekend and will conduct its own tests to see if there is dioxin contamination, an official with the agriculture ministry said.
