The Chinese melamine contamination scandal has forced those in the bakery sector to think carefully about products which might contain any form of milk or protein, from biscuits and cake mixes to high-protein energy bars.
Companies have been scrambling to establish independent testing of their products after it emerged that Chinese testing was unreliable.
The EU banned Chinese milk products and products containing more than 50 per cent Chinese milk in 2002 due to concerns about a lack of industry regulation, but despite this, there is still a risk that Chinese milk products have been used as ingredients in bakery and snack items.
