BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand is tightening restrictions on dairy products from China after finding two samples of milk powder contaminated with melamine, Deputy Health Minister Wicharn Meechainant said on Tuesday.
"We will issue a new ministerial regulation very soon that milk imported from China must be checked more thoroughly," he told reporters.
Thousands of children in China have been hospitalized with kidney illnesses and four have died after drinking milk formula tainted with the chemical, causing public outrage and shining a spotlight on food safety after a series of problems with other products.
Sixty tonnes of milk powder imported from China were impounded on Monday after Thai Food and Drug Administration inspectors found melamine traces, Wicharn said, without revealing the level of melamine concentration.
The chemical, which can be used to artificially boost the level of nitrogen in dairy products, was also found in another shipment of 20 tonnes of Chinese milk products.
However, in the latter case, levels of the chemical were found to be 0.35-0.55 milligrams per kg, below an acceptable standard of 1 milligram per kg, Wicharn said.
Melamine can be added to substandard or watered-down milk to fool quality checks, which often use nitrogen levels to measure the amount of protein in milk. The chemical is used in pesticides and in making plastics.

周二泰国卫生部副部长Wicharn Meechainant称在发现2例检测出受三聚氰胺污染的奶粉后泰国正收紧从中国进口奶制品的限制。
“很快我们将出台新的卫生部条例，对来自中国的奶制品进行更加彻底的检查”。
在中国成千上万的儿童住院接受肾结石治疗，四个孩子食用添加有毒化学物质配方奶粉后死亡。奶粉事件引起公众愤慨并在一系列其他产品问题之后将人们的关注聚焦于食品安全。
Wicharn声称周一泰国食品和药品管理局检测人员查出了奶粉中的三聚氰胺成分并随即扣押了60吨从中国进口的奶粉，但未透露三聚氰胺的含量等级。
三聚氰胺这种化学成分被用来提高奶制品的氮含量，在另外一批运达的20吨中国奶制品中也查出三聚氰胺成分。
不过Wicharn作出了对20吨那批奶制品中三聚氰胺含量等级的说明，为每公斤0.35-0.55毫克，低于可接受的每公斤1毫克的标准。
三聚氰胺被添加进劣质或稀释过的牛奶中以逃过检测（以氮含量衡量牛奶中蛋白质），也被用在农药中以及制造塑造制品。
