All powder and liquid dairy products, produced before former dairy giant Sanlu, admitted that its baby food was contaminated with melamine, will be recalled from shops for "batch to batch" checks.
"All products that passed the checks should wear a special label on their package before going on sale," the agency said, adding that dairy products produced after September 14, which had passed melamine tests could be sold without special labels.
Since September 14, a total of 531 batches of baby formula of almost 60 brands and over 800 batches of 148 different powdered milk products, produced after September 14 have tested negative for melamine.
The government has also introduced new quality standards for dairy products, allowing a maximum of 1 mg of melamine per kg of infant formula and a maximum 2.5 mg per kg for liquid milk, milk powder and food products containing at least 15% milk.
The melamine scandal has sparked bans on Chinese milk products all around the world, including Russia. In the past 24 hours, products containing Chinese powdered milk as an ingredient were found in the Kirov Region in the north of European Russia, in the Far Eastern Amur Region near the Chinese border and in the North Caucasus Republic of Karachai-Circassia.
Melamine-tainted Chinese products have been found in the Far Eastern Khabarovsk Territory and in the southwestern Siberian city of Tomsk.
Meanwhile, health scares involving Chinese food products are continuing to make headlines in Southeast Asia. Japan's Mainichi Daily News reported on Wednesday that a 56-year-old woman from the Tokyo suburb of Hachioji was hospitalized with food poisoning after eating frozen Chinese-produced green beans.
The beans reportedly contained dichlorvos pesticide in a concentration 34,000 times higher than the recommended maximum permitted safety levels.
On September 2, a Japanese man from the city of Nagoya sought medical help after eating Chinese-produced bean jam, contaminated with industrial solvents, toluene and ethyl acetate.
