紐西蘭奶粉被爆含毒 恆天然公司稱牛奶安全-

Fonterra, the world"s largest dairy exporter, said on Monday it has reassured its global customers that New Zealand dairy products are safe following the discovery of traces of a potentially toxic substance in milk samples.紐西蘭的牛奶樣品日前被爆檢出一種疑似有毒物質。消息曝光後，全球最大的乳品出口商恆天然周一向全球客戶保證：其乳製品是安全的。

The New Zealand firm said its testing had found "minute traces" in some of its products of dicyandiamide (DCD), a chemical used in fertilisers to prevent them from soaking into rivers, which can be toxic in large amounts.恆天然證實在產品測試中發現了「微量」 雙氰胺。雙氰胺是一種防止肥料滲入河流的化學物質，大量使用有毒。

Fonterra, said in a statement it had assured its customers that the detected DCD levels were no threat to human health.恆天然公司在一份聲明中向客戶保證，檢測到的雙氰胺水平不會威脅到人類健康。

"Customers are satisfied with our answers and the anxiety is dying down," Chief Executive Theo Spierings said later on Radio New Zealand.He said the DCD levels found in tests last year were "100 times less than European standards".恆天然公司的首席執行官西奧-史畢根斯在紐西蘭之聲中表示，「客戶對我??們的回答表示滿意，對此的焦慮也逐步減少。」他同時表示，在去年的檢測中發現的雙氰胺水平「比歐洲標準少100倍」。

The fertiliser companies making the product have suspended its sale. Fonterra has been working with the government and the industry since last November to resolve the issue, Spierings said.生產雙氰胺的化肥公司已被暫停銷售。史畢根斯表示從去年11月開始，公司一直與政府和業界合作來解決問題。

Fonterra is New Zealand"s largest company with revenues of around NZ$20 billion ($16.8 billion), and is looking to expand in Asia to tap into the region"s growing demand for dairy goods.恆天然是紐西蘭最大的公司，擁有約20億歐元（168億美元）的收入，目前正尋求進軍亞洲，亞洲地區對乳製品需求在日益增長。
