The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) recommended the extension of the ban till 23 June 2012 or until further orders, whichever is earlier. The notification for ban was issued on 4 July 2012 by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade. The banned milk products include chocolate, chocolate products, candies, confectionery, food preparations with milk or milk solids as ingredient.
The prohibition on import of milk and its products from China was imposed on 24 September, 2008 because the milk products imported from China contained melamine. Melamine is a banned substance injurious to health.
