恒天然欢迎新西兰政府为乳品作出安全保证
Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited today welcomed the New Zealand Government’s assurances that all New Zealand dairy products are safe.
中国，北京—恒天然集团今天对新西兰政府就新西兰所有乳制品作出安全保证表示欢迎。
New Zealand has suspended the use of DCD pasture treatment after the detection of very small traces of DCD residue in some dairy products.
在检测出少量乳制品含有微量二氰二胺(DCD)残留后，新西兰作出决定，暂停在牧场使用DCD化肥。
“These residues have never been a food safety issue,” said Managing Director Co-operative Affairs Todd Muller.
恒天然公共事务董事总经理托德-穆勒(Todd Muller)表示：“检测发现的DCD残留从未构成食品安全问题。”
“The Government has provided assurances that New Zealand dairy products are completely safe to consume and continue to comply with international food safety regulations.
“新西兰政府已作出保证，新西兰的所有乳制品绝对安全，可以放心食用，新西兰将一如既往地严格遵守各种国际食品安全规定。”
“The Government has also strongly reinforced the fact that DCD is not melamine. It advises that it is a different chemical and does not have the toxicity of melamine.” www.mpi.govt.nz
“新西兰政府还特别强调，DCD是一种与三聚氰胺不同的化合物，不具备三聚氰胺的毒性。”www.mpi.govt.nz
The European Commission has set an acceptable daily intake for DCD of 1mg per kilogram of body weight.
欧盟设定的安全限值是，人体每公斤每天可摄入1毫克DCD。
“The very low levels of DCD we have detected in some milk powders were 100 times lower than safety limits established by the European Commission.
“我们在少量奶粉中检测到的DCD残留极低，还不到欧盟规定安全限值的百分之一。”
“The NZ Government has advised that based on the highest DCD residue that was detected in New Zealand milk products, a 60 kg person would have to drink more than 130 litres of raw milk every day or consume some 60 kg of milk powder to reach the limit for an acceptable daily intake, and considerably more to have any health effects.
“新西兰政府表示，根据目前在新西兰乳品所检测出的最高DCD残留，一个60公斤体重的人每天必须饮用超过130公升的液态牛奶，或是摄取60公斤的奶粉才会达到欧盟委员会所设定的每日可接受含量的限额,只有摄入比该上限高得多的数量，才会对健康产生影响。”
“Clearly this would never happen.
“这显然是不可能发生的情况。”
“We are continuing to work closely with government authorities and our customers to ensure that they have the facts about the safety of New Zealand dairy products.”
“我们将继续和政府部门及消费者保持密切沟通，保证他们能够及时了解新西兰乳制品的安全情况。”穆勒(Muller)先生说。
