The Ministry of Health (MOH) has been investigating claims that Synutra's infant milk formula was linked to premature development in three infants, however it has now confirmed that no banned hormones were found in the 42 samples of Synutra infant milk formula, including samples from the affected families' homes and 31 samples from 14 other Chinese and foreign infant formula producers.

The MOH believes that the three claims of premature development cannot be linked to Synutra's infant milk powder.

Mr Liang Zhang, Chairman and CEO of Synutra stated: "We are very pleased with the test results issued by China's top health authority, which support Synutra's steadfast commitment to product quality and consumer safety.

"As a trusted provider of infant formula in China, Synutra has always made quality assurance a top priority.
