恒天然歡迎新西蘭政府為乳品作出安全保證

    Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited today welcomed the New Zealand Government’s assurances that all New Zealand dairy products are safe.

    中國， 北京 —恒天然集團今天對新西蘭政府就新西蘭所有乳制品作出安全保證表示歡迎。

    New Zealand has suspended the use of DCD pasture treatment after the detection of very small traces of DCD residue in some dairy products.

    在檢測出少量乳制品含有微量二氰二胺（DCD）殘留后，新西蘭作出決定，暫停在牧場使用DCD化肥。

    “These residues have never been a food safety issue,” said Managing Director Co-operative Affairs Todd Muller.

    恒天然公共事務董事總經理托德-穆勒(Todd Muller)表示：“檢測發現的DCD殘留從未構成食品安全問題。”

    “The Government has provided assurances that New Zealand dairy products are completely safe to consume and continue to comply with international food safety regulations. 
 
    “新西蘭政府已作出保證，新西蘭的所有乳制品絕對安全，可以放心食用，新西蘭將一如既往地嚴格遵守各種國際食品安全規定。”

    “The Government has also strongly reinforced the fact that DCD is not melamine.  It advises that it is a different chemical and does not have the toxicity of melamine.”  www.mpi.govt.nz

    “新西蘭政府還特別強調，DCD是一種與三聚氰胺不同的化合物，不具備三聚氰胺的毒性。”www.mpi.govt.nz

    The European Commission has set an acceptable daily intake for DCD of 1mg per kilogram of body weight.

    歐盟設定的安全限值是，人體每公斤每日 可攝入1毫克DCD。

    “The very low levels of DCD we have detected in some milk powders were 100 times lower than safety limits established by the European Commission.

    “我們在少量奶粉中檢測到的DCD殘留極低，還不到歐盟規定安全限值的百分之一。”

    “The NZ Government has advised that based on the highest DCD residue that was detected in New Zealand milk products, a 60 kg person would have to drink more than 130 litres of raw milk every day or consume some 60 kg of milk powder to reach the limit for an acceptable daily intake, and considerably more to have any health effects.

    “新西蘭政府表示，根據目前在新西蘭乳品所檢測出的最高DCD殘留，一個60公斤體重的人每日 必須飲用超過130公升的液態牛奶，或是攝取60公斤的奶粉才會達到歐盟委員會所設定的每日可接受含量的限額,只有攝入比該上限高得多的數量，才會對健康產生影響。”

    “Clearly this would never happen.

     “這顯然是不可能發生的情況。”

    “We are continuing to work closely with government authorities and our customers to ensure that they have the facts about the safety of New Zealand dairy products.”

    “我們將繼續和政府部門及消費者保持密切溝通，保證他們能夠及時了解新西蘭乳制品的安全情況。”穆勒（Muller）先生說。
