Glasys Samuel, Yes the report says that accuracy cannot be determined. But also in the report it shows all foreign brands are carrying something (for the moment let’s assume it’s not DCD) which local brands not. That is something to be concern about.
And do you know the first batch they tested in Singapore, reports came positive of DCD. then later ITI took up the testing.. i think you have missed to mention that as well in your article.
]]>The brands and batch numbers are clearly indicated on the report.

An Australian milk powder supplier has warned of diplomatic consequences if its product is proved to contain any farm chemical while its Sri Lankan buyer offered a one million rupee reward if anyone could identify such substance. The warning and the offer of a reward come in the wake of the state-run Industrial Technology Institute (ITI) declaring that it had found the harmful substance DCD (dicyandiamide) in a batch of Maliban non-fat milk powder.
The ITI has ruled out the presence of DCD in Maliban full cream milk powder or any of the Maliban brand milk products except from a sample taken from a batch of its non-fat milk powder, the company’s Chief Executive Officer Lakshman Weerasuriya said. He added he suspected some ‘jugglery’ of changing samples before or after laboratory testing.
