In another safety scare for China's dairy industry, the country's biggest milk producer says it has destroyed a batch of milk which was found to have high levels of a cancer-causing toxin. The problem was discovered before the milk tainted with high levels of aflatoxin was sold to the public, Mengniu Dairy Group said in a statement on its website.
