Retest shows ‘tainted’ soft drinks safe

Two soft drink brands suspected of high levels of arsenic have proved to be of acceptable quality after a retest, the xinhuanet.com reported Tuesday.
The brands Uni-President and Nongfu Spring had previously been found of unacceptable quality during spot checks in the Haikou market by the Haikou quarantine department.
A call-back announcement for the products were made on November 24.
However, retest results from Chinese Academy of Inspections and Quarantine show the three batches of samples from the two soft drink companies all meet the required standard, the report said.
The Haikou Commercial and Industrial Bureau in Hainan province has confirmed the results, and has already stopped pulling the products off shelves.
