The Chinese mainland suspended the import of another 66 products from Taiwan that had been contaminated by an industrial chemical used to soften plastic products, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) said Sunday.

The figure brought such products banned from importing to 924, the AQSIQ said in an updated statement posted on its website.

These products include beverages and jam.

This is a much longer list than the one issued by the AQSIQ on June 1, when the watchdog said the mainland would suspend imports of 22 kinds of beverages, food products and additives from Taiwan that are produced by companies suspected of using bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP).

The food safety commission under the State Council, or the cabinet, has also ordered increased inspections and instant recalls of beverages, food products and additives contaminated with DEHP.
