China has revoked the business licenses of two companies that exported wheat protein tainted with toxic chemicals and banned them from export and import, a top quality control official said here on Friday.
The Xuzhou Anying Biotechnology Development Company in Jiangsu province and the Bingzhou Futian Biotechnology Co. Ltd. in Shandong province have 'unlawfully added melamine in some of its protein products exported to the United States', said Li Changjiang, minister of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), at a news conference.
The tainted wheat gluten has been blamed for dog and cat deaths in North America.
