“The 28 products that have been delisted
are found to be safe for human

will continue on Chinese products particularly those that will still undergo

underwent high-pressure liquid chromatography and results show that they
have an “alarming” content of more than 1.0 parts per million (ppm).
Gutierrez said the BFAD will release another partial list of tested products by
Tuesday.
“The list grew to some 200 more items from China. The samples of the other
items were sent to the BFAD by inspectors of our regulation division
