Chinese government has added more foods made in Taiwan to its list of ban for heath reason, state media said Saturday.
China has significantly increased the number of banned imported food items from Taiwan after authorities in Taipei warned they were tainted with a chemical that is used in plastics and can cause hormone malfunctions in children.
In recent days, Beijing has suspended imports of 812 products including beverages, food and additives.
Beijing halted imports of Taiwan-made sports drinks, fruit juices and jams as Taipei had said these items could contain excessive DEHP, a chemical used in plastics, and published a list of 245 companies from the island whose products have been banned.
South Korea, the Philippines and Hong Kong have also limited imports or sales of foodstuffs from Taiwan after the warning was made over the use of chemical DEHP, which can cause hormone malfunctions in children.
