ANCHOR:
Both Thailand and Taiwan are checking imported milk cookies for melamine. This took place after Switzerland found traces of the chemical in the same product.

STORY:
The Food and Drug Administration took samples of flour, butter, milk and different kinds of cookies from bakery S&P to its laboratory yesterday. They expect results in 24 hours.

[ Dr.Pipat Yingseri, Secretary-General, FDA]:
"Our initial finding shows that the raw material of making cookies such as flour and milk are not coming from China. At the same time, we also collected those raw materials for further investigation."

Thai newspapers report that Swiss authorities have removed the S&P milk cookies, as well as other products from China and Sri Lanka, after tests showed they were tainted by melamine.

Products made with tainted Chinese milk have been pulled from shelves worldwide in a widening health scandal.

Toxic milk powder in China, where at least four children have died and tens of thousands fallen ill, has prompted Taiwan to ban dairy products from China.

The compound is often added to cheat nutrition tests.
