France Withdrawls Contaminated Chinese Sweets

France banned Friday the sale of two brands of Chinese-made sweets and biscuits that it said had been contaminated with malamine-tainted milk -- the latest country hit by the widening health scandal. The Agriculture Ministry said in a statement that "White Rabbit" sweets and "Koala" biscuits should be withdrawn from sale and destroyed. "The first results of tests carried out in France revealed a level of malamine that is above the danger level set by the European Commission," the statement said. It added however that it was not aware of anyone falling ill after eating the products.
