BANGKOK, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) — Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration burned eight tons of food products tainted with high levels of the toxic chemical melamine on Monday. Deputy Public Health Minister Wicharn Meenchainan witnessed the incineration of tens of thousands of food product items contaminated with higher than acceptable levels of melamine at the Bang Pa-in industrial estate north of Bangkok, according to the Thai news Agency. Some 20,000 boxes of snacks such as cheese crackers and biscuits and more than 13,000 cans of unsweetened condensed milk containing high levels of melamine were destroyed, Wicharn said that the burning of the melamine-tainted products was to ensure Thailand’s consumers that food products in the market are melamine free.
