Milk products from China were supposed to have been taken off the shelves on Friday, but at least one minimart chain were still selling them yesterday, as four of the five outlets of I-Tec Supermart displayed prominently Monmilk, Wall's ice-cream and the banned China-made Dutch Lady strawberry-flavoured milk.

The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) had earlier found the strawberry milk tainted with the chemical melamine. It ordered the product to be destroyed.

But the 24-hour chain continued to sell the milk at its Serangoon and Jalan Besar outlets as well as a Geylang one.
