EU urges Italy to prevent spread of dioxin-contaminated
mozzarella cheese
BRUSSELS, March 27 (Xinhua) -- The European Commission on
Thursday urged Italy to take further urgent measures to prevent
dioxin-contaminated mozzarella cheese from entering other European
Union (EU) countries.
The Italian authorities have informed the commission that the
dioxin problem has been contained in the Campania region of Italy
and that no mozzarella cheese containing higher than the permissible
levels of dioxins has been traded outside Italy, said a commission
spokeswoman on Thursday.
