A sample of muscat flavour Doraemon Chocolate Gummy was found to have contained excessive melamine, the Centre for Food Safety said today.

The sample, taken from a 50g pack with an expiry date of August 19, 2009, had a melamine level of 12ppm. The legal limit is 2.5ppm.

The trade has been asked to stop selling the product and the centre has warned the retailer and the importer concerned.

Call the centre's enquiry hotline 2381 6096 for more information on the product.

Renal stones

The Centre for Health Protection has received a case of a child with renal stones suspected to be related to the consumption of melamine-tainted products.

The two-and-a half-year-old Southern District boy has been consuming milk and biscuits adulterated with melamine.

His parents took him to a Hospital Authority special assessment centre for a medical check-up and two renal stones were found in his right kidney. He is in stable condition and hospitalisation is not required.
