The trial will allow NnZtri dairy products to be tested in New Zealand by an accredited laboratory, which will give automatic entry across the Chinese border without further testing.
All dairy exporters currently face substantial risks with testing at the Chinese border. Sometimes the same tests carried out in China have a different result to tests carried out in New Zealand laboratories.
This will not result in less testing. These tests will now take place in a New Zealand based laboratory before they are shipped.
NuZtri has worked hard with the New Zealand China Food Safety Association to eliminate the uncertainty faced by all dairy exporters to China. Over time the hope is that all New Zealand dairy companies will be able to achieve similar status.
New Zealand’s infant formula industry has suffered in the last few years since the Fonterra whey protein issue, coupled with new regulations for infant formula entering the Chinese market. With only nine Kiwi infant formula factories approved to export infant formula to China, production there has dropped significantly.
Meanwhile, Ireland has boosted its share of the Chinese infant formula market from 0% to 9% in the last couple of years.
