Beijing — The food safety watchdog in southern Guangdong Province warned against tainted dairy products manufactured by a Zhuhai dairy company after more than 100 children were reported vomiting after drinking the milk, a Guangzhou-based newspaper reported on Saturday.
The provincial food safety agency had sealed up 4,167 boxes of the milk suspected of contamination while the manufacturer, ZhuhaiWeiwei Daheng Dairy Company, recalled another 2,706 boxes of such product.
The government warned consumers in five cities, Zhuhai, Jiangmen, Foshan, Zhongshan and Guangzhou, against the risk of drinking 150-ml high-calcium milk, which was packed on March 26, the newspaper said.
Some 75 children in a few day-cares in both Zhuhai and Jiangmen were reported sick after drinking the products on Wednesday. The young patients were properly treated and went home from hospital on Friday.
