新西兰出口的乳铁蛋白(lactoferrin)中含有三聚氰胺
乳铁蛋白是新西兰出口的最昂贵的奶制品之一。它的售价高达NZ$500,000/吨。但是食品安全官员说,他们不知道污染是如何发生的。他们现正研究原料奶中是否也存在三聚氰胺。
该官员拒绝透到底是哪家制造商向中国出口量受污染的乳铁蛋白。他们也拒绝透露是在哪里的市场产品测试中发现了三聚氰胺。
只有3家新西兰乳品公司生产乳铁蛋白。这种牛奶蛋白被用于运动饮料、婴儿配方和当作食物补充成分销售的胶囊,以提高人的免疫系统。Fonterra(倍可亲注:该公司拥有中国三鹿公司43%的股份)和 Westland 两公司均告诉NZ PA(倍可亲注:应该是New ZealandPress Association新西兰新闻联合会)他们的产品没有卷入其中。
另外一家公司,总部设在附近的莫林斯维尔Tatuanui 的Tatua 是世界上最大的乳铁蛋白制造商。在多达14000吨的原料奶中才能提取一吨的这种牛奶蛋白。
Tatua董事长史蒂夫艾伦将媒体的询转交给该公司的首席执行官保罗McGilvary 。但他告诉NZPA直至今晚他一直在与新西兰食品安全局忙于(调查)工作。
阿伦说“这在国际上都是是非常重大的个事情”。海外对新西兰食品工业的看法(对新西兰)至关重要。把事实调查清楚很重要。
NZFSA(倍可亲注:New Zealand Food Safety Authority, 新西兰食品安全部)的诚信和调查部门的主任杰夫艾伦告诉NZPA,他认为乳铁蛋白污染可能来自多个公司。
“我们仍在等待所有的乳铁蛋白制造商的正式结果,所以我不能说哪一家公司出现了问题或者哪一家没有问题。 ”

NZ exported melamine contamination in dairy protein
Fri, 26 Sep 2008
One of New Zealand’s most expensive dairy exports, lactoferrin, which sells for about $500,000 a tonne, has been contaminated with melamine.
But food safety officials say they don’t know how the contamination occurred and are now looking at whether the melamine was in the raw milk.

The officials declined to say which manufacturer sent the contaminated lactoferrin to China, where the melamine was detected by in-market testing in the wake of the sale of poisoned milk as infant formula.

Only three New Zealand dairy companies produce lactoferrin - a milk protein used in sports drinks, infant formulas and capsules sold as dietary supplements to boost people’s immune systems - and Fonterra and Westland have both told NZPA their products were not involved.

The remaining company, Tatua, based at Tatuanui near Morrinsville, is the world’s biggest manufacturer of lactoferrin, and processes up to 14,000 tonnes of raw milk to extract just one tonne of the protein.

Tatua chairman Steve Allen referred media queries to the company’s’ chief executive, Paul McGilvary, but told NZPA he had been busy working with the New Zealand Food Safety Authority until tonight.

“This whole thing, internationally, is pretty major,” said Mr Allen. Overseas perceptions of the New Zealand food industry were crucial and it was important to get all the facts right.

NZFSA director of compliance and investigation Geoff Allen told NZPA he believed the contaminated lactoferrin might have come from more than one company.

“We’re still waiting for official results from all of the manufacturers of lactoferrin, so I can’t say which one is in and which one is out.”

Yesterday Mr Allen said the authority was considering any role which might have been played in the contamination by cyromazine, an insecticide which breaks down to melamine in mammals.

NZFSA has 24 livestock drenches and sprays containing cyromazine listed among registered agricultural compounds on its website.

“The possible contribution of breakdown products from cyromazine is being included in the investigations that are underway.’

Dr Allen had earlier confirmed that NZ lactoferrin sent to China had been contaminated with melamine. “Explanations for its presence in this case include leaching from plastic involved in processing or packaging, or other unintended outcome of the manufacturing process.”

“We can’t say definitively where it’s come from,” he said.

The authority was following a lot of leads, and had so far ruled out deliberate adulteration, and had “practically eliminated” contamination caused by the manufacturing process, which is common to all three exporters.

“We can see no mechanism where melamine can be introduced or produced during the process,” he said.

“Now, we’re looking back and saying `how can it come in or be introduced in the raw material’,” he said.

Dr Allen said the contamination was at low levels which did not present any health risk for consumers.

He questioned whether the melamine would be detectable once it was diluted when used as an ingredient in a finished product.

In June, NZFSA published a list of contaminant levels it will allow in animal products, and specified a maximum permissible level of cyromazine and melamine as 0.3mg/kg in sheepmeats, and 0.15mg/kg in poultry and eggs.
