But the authorities said the melamine content found at the restaurants was so far within prescribed safety limits.

Miklos Suth, of the Agriculture Ministry’s food safety office, said: “Food products with melamine levels under the limits defined by food safety rules were found in a number of Chinese restaurants during the weekend."

He also confirmed that a shipment of Nestle coffee product contaminated with the industrial chemical discovered on 4 October was still under examination. Test results will be released later in the week, said Mr Suth. Nestle had requested the examination of a 5.5 ton stock of Coffee Mate imported from Thailand but not yet placed on sale.

He added that the product would be destroyed if the levels of melamine exceeded legal levels.
