The government has again extended the ban on imports of milk and its products from China for one more year till June 2015, reported PTI. "Prohibition on import of milk and milk products (including chocolates and chocolate products and candies/ confectionery/ food preparations with milk or milk solids as an ingredient) from China is extended for one more year, i.e., till 23.6.2015 or until further orders, whichever is earlier," Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) said. The ban, which expired on June 23, is extended every year. India had first imposed the ban in September 2008 due to presence of melamine, used for making plastics and fertiliser, as per the media reports. According to media reports, India, however, does not import milk products from China, but as a preventive measure, it has imposed the ban
