Abbott’s milk powder quality has been questioned and non-compliant products will be sent to third parties

In response to being referred to a corporate consultancy agency named CER, the nutrient content was not up to standard. Yesterday evening, Abbott, the foreign milk powder giant, stated that it would send the products questioned to third-party laboratories with international certification for re-inspection. In addition, said that its products meet the Chinese national standards on whey protein should not be less than 60% of the standard.

In response to this CER challenge, despite Abbott’s two statements stating that the products in Mainland China meet the standards, the issue of “whether to send the same batch of products to a third-party authority for re-examination” has been said to be still under discussion.

Last night, Abbott responded by saying: "Abbott has confirmed that our products meet Chinese standards for whey protein levels of no less than 60%. Abbott not only determines whey protein and cheese according to published and certified testing methods. The content of the protein, while also sending our products to an internationally certified third-party laboratory for re-inspection to ensure that our products meet regulatory standards."

Maternal and child supplies online shopping mall Red Kids website customer service introduction, has received an explanation letter from Abbott, saying that the content published by CER is misleading.
