GENERAL: SML: Synlait Milk confident of China registration
The initial list of registered New Zealand companies issued today by the
Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of
China (CNCA) did not include Synlait Milk as an exporter of finished infant
formula into China. This announcement has been anticipated by the Company for
some time.
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) has confirmed that it expects
Synlait Milk to receive registration following the approval of its Risk
Management Plan by MPI for its dry blending and consumer packaging facility.
Construction of this facility is scheduled for completion in June 2014.
Synlait Milk and its customers are well prepared and have ensured sufficient
stocks of product have been manufactured prior to 1 May or are held as stock
in market to cover the interim period before it receives registration.
Synlait Milk supports the Chinese regulatory changes designed to improve the
quality standards required of manufacturers supplying that market.
