The proteins are derived from leather scraps of animal skins and can be hazardous to your health if chemicals such as sulfuric acid are used to extract them, had earlier explained the Chinese press.
The government banned in February 2009, adding leather proteins in food products intended for human consumption, but some unscrupulous manufacturers to put in their dairy products to raise their levels of protein, according to the AQSIQ. Neither the government nor the newspapers did not report use of these proteins on a large scale, but Beijing seems eager to reassure the public after the resounding Chinese milk scandal tainted with melamine, which has damaged the reputation of the sector since 2008.
Melamine is a toxic chemical that mimics a protein intake and allows producers to cheat by adding water to milk. The addition of melamine had caused the deaths of at least six babies and was responsible for 300,000 severe kidney disease in young children. Since the scandal, the ongoing reports of new cases of use of this substance.
In March 2009, authorities closed the company Chenyuan Dairy in Jinhua, in the eastern province of Zhejiang, after determining that proteins of leather were used, reported China Daily on Friday. The Ministry of Agriculture has announced for its part that the authorities would be conducting this year's 6450 tests on dairy products.
