The Sri Lanka Health Ministry has decided to make it compulsory for milk powder importers to obtain a certification from a recognized laboratory certifying that imported milk powder does not contain dicyandiamide (DCD).  

The Food Advisory Committee headed by the Director General of Health Services Dr.Palitha Mahipala has come to this decision after studying the situation which cropped up with regard to imported milk powder being contaminated with DCD.

Dr. Paalitha Maheepaala said that a sub-committee has also been appointed to carry out further tests to check on the presence of DCD in packeted milk powder available in sales outlets.
