Beijing: China's quality watchdog says new tests of liquid milk sold domestically have found that the products are free of the industrial chemical melamine.
The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) announced late on Saturday that the tests have been carried out on 609 samples from 75 brands collected from 27 cities around the country.
This is the sixth test after the tainted milk powder scandal erupted last month.
A total of 2,093 batches of liquid milk under 115 brands, among other dairy products, had been checked since then, Xinhua news agency cited the AQSIQ as saying.
Melamine-tainted milk formula has sickened more than 54,000 children in China, mainly with kidney problems, and is blamed for the deaths of at least four infants.
