One of the world's biggest exporters of hugely expensive dairy protein lactoferrin has suspended exports in order to clarify how it was contaminated by melamine.
Morrinsville-based Tatua Cooperative Dairy Company Ltd said today it expected dairy exporters were in future likely to test for melamine contamination before releasing product for sale.
China this month shut down production at dairy company San Lu after its baby formula was found contaminated with melamine, leading to the deaths of four infants.
Tatua's board will meet tomorrow, and is expected to discuss the contamination.
A Chinese customer told Tatua's agent two weeks ago that melamine had been detected in its product in China.
Further tests were done in both in China and New Zealand, and results on September 22 and 23 confirmed contamination at less than four parts per million.
The New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA), inspected the factory on September 24.
