New international standards for melamine content in foods introduced

The UN Codex Alimentarius Commission, the agency responsible for food safety standards, said on the 6th that the committee has set new standards for the allowable content of melamine in food. The new standard stipulates that the melamine content per kilogram of infant formula should not exceed 1 mg, and the melamine content per kg of other food or animal feed should not exceed 2.5 mg.

World Health Organization food safety expert Angrika Trischel emphasized at the media briefing on that day that the so-called melamine content standard refers to the natural or inevitable content of melamine in food, rather than an artificially added amount. Any deliberate addition of melamine to food for commercial benefit is unacceptable.

Jon Schront, head of WHO's Department of Food Safety, Zoonoses, and Foodborne Diseases, stated that the issue of food hygiene and safety is a global issue. It is based on science and common to all countries. The standard is very important.

The Codex Alimentarius Commission is jointly established by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and WHO. It is an institution that sets international food standards with the aim of safeguarding the health of consumers and ensuring the fairness of food trade. The committee held its 33rd regular meeting in Geneva this week and focused on melamine levels in infant formula and other foods, lean meat residues in pork, and sanitation problems in vegetable salads and seafood.
