NZ exported melamine contamination in dairy protein

One of New Zealand's most expensive dairy exports, lactoferrin, which sells for about $500,000 a tonne, has been contaminated with melamine.
But food safety officials say they don't know how the contamination occurred and are now looking at whether the melamine was in the raw milk.
The officials declined to say which manufacturer sent the contaminated lactoferrin to China, where the melamine was detected by in-market testing in the wake of the sale of poisoned milk as infant formula.
Only three New Zealand dairy companies produce lactoferrin - a milk protein used in sports drinks, infant formulas and capsules sold as dietary supplements to boost people's immune systems - and Fonterra and Westland have both told NZPA their products were not involved.
The remaining company, Tatua, based at Tatuanui near Morrinsville, is the world's biggest manufacturer of lactoferrin, and processes up to 14,000 tonnes of raw milk to extract just one tonne of the protein.
Tatua chairman Steve Allen referred media queries to the company's' chief executive, Paul McGilvary, but told NZPA he had been busy working with the New Zealand Food Safety Authority until tonight.
"This whole thing, internationally, is pretty major," said Mr Allen. Overseas perceptions of the New Zealand food industry were crucial and it was important to get all the facts right.
NZFSA director of compliance and investigation Geoff Allen told NZPA he believed the contaminated lactoferrin might have come from more than one company.
"We're still waiting for official results from all of the manufacturers of lactoferrin, so I can't say which one is in and which one is out."
Yesterday Mr Allen said the authority was considering any role which might have been played in the contamination by cyromazine, an insecticide which breaks down to melamine in mammals.
NZFSA has 24 livestock drenches and sprays containing cyromazine listed among registered agricultural compounds on its website.
"The possible contribution of breakdown products from cyromazine is being included in the investigations that are underway.'
Dr Allen had earlier confirmed that NZ lactoferrin sent to China had been contaminated with melamine. "Explanations for its presence in this case include leaching from plastic involved in processing or packaging, or other unintended outcome of the manufacturing process."
"We can't say definitively where it's come from," he said.
The authority was following a lot of leads, and had so far ruled out deliberate adulteration, and had "practically eliminated" contamination caused by the manufacturing process, which is common to all three exporters.
"We can see no mechanism where melamine can be introduced or produced during the process," he said.
"Now, we're looking back and saying `how can it come in or be introduced in the raw material'," he said.
Dr Allen said the contamination was at low levels which did not present any health risk for consumers.
He questioned whether the melamine would be detectable once it was diluted when used as an ingredient in a finished product.
In June, NZFSA published a list of contaminant levels it will allow in animal products, and specified a maximum permissible level of cyromazine and melamine as 0.3mg/kg in sheepmeats, and 0.15mg/kg in poultry and eggs.

新西兰出口受三聚氰胺污染的奶蛋白
2008. 9. 26，星期五
News: National
新西兰其中一种最贵的出口奶制品，乳铁蛋白，售价大约NZ$500,000/吨，受到三聚氰胺污染。
但是食品安全官员说，他们不清楚污染是如何发生，正在调查三聚氰胺是否是存在于生奶中。
官员拒绝说明是哪一家生产商出口受污染的乳铁蛋白到中国，三聚氰胺在中国紧随像婴幼儿奶粉的有毒牛奶销售之后的商场化验中被发现。
只有三家新西兰奶制品公司生产乳铁蛋白 – 这种奶蛋白用于运动饮料，婴幼儿奶粉以及被当作饮食补充成分以增强人的免疫系统销售的胶囊， – 恒天然集团以及Westland，2家公司都向新西兰报联社(NZPA)表明，他们的产品没有卷入其中。
另一家公司，总部位于靠近Morrinsville(摩林斯维)Tatuanui的Tatua公司，是世界上最大的乳铁蛋白生产商，加工高达14,000吨的生奶只能提取一吨的蛋白。
Tatua 的董事会主席Steve Allen将媒体的质疑提交给公司的行政总裁Paul McGilvary，但是他却告诉新西兰报联社(NZPA)，他在今晚之前一直忙于同新西兰食品安全当局忙于(调查)工作。
“整件事情在国际上相当严重。”Allen先生说。海外对于新西兰食品行业的理解至关紧要，所以将所有事实调查清楚很重要。
NZFSA(新西兰食品安全局)执行及调查主任Geoff Allen告诉新西兰报联社(NZPA)，他相信受污染的乳铁蛋白可能不止来源于一家公司。
“我们还在等待来自所有乳铁蛋白生产商的正式结果，所以我不能说，哪家有问题，哪家没有问题。
昨天，Allen先生表示，当局正考虑环丙氨嗪在此污染中所可能产生的任何作用。环丙氨嗪是一种在动物体内代谢成三聚氰胺的杀虫剂。
NZFSA(新西兰食品安全局)在其网站上已注册的农产品中列有24种家禽大剂量药液和喷洒式药剂含有环丙氨嗪。
“关于可能由环丙氨嗪代谢的产品所致的调查已经在进行中。”
Allen博士早前确认新西兰出口到中国的乳铁蛋白受到三聚氰胺污染。“在今次事件中对此的解释包括了在加工或是包装过程中来自塑料的溶解，或是其它生产过程中的意外结果。”
“我们不能明确地说具体是来自于哪里。”他说。
当局正跟进多个路线，目前已经排除蓄意掺假行为，并且“几乎排除了因生产过程(三个出口商都是标准的生产过程)而导致的污染。”
“我们可以在生产过程中看到没有可以引入或是产生三聚氰胺的机器设备。”他说。
“现在，我们正在回顾，并判断“(三聚氰胺)是如何进入或是如何在原材料中被引入。”他表示。
Allen博士称，污染的程度低，不会对消费者产生任何健康的风险。
他怀疑，三聚氰胺被当成一种配料来用于稀释在一种成品之中会否被检测到。
6月时，NZFSA(新西兰食品安全局)公布了一份清单，即动物产品中可以存在的污染物标准，明确了所容许的环丙氨嗪以及三聚氰胺的最高水平：羊肉是0.3毫克/千克，家禽和鸡蛋是0.15毫克/千克。
