A fourth product in Australia has been recalled because of the milk scandal in China.
Kirin Milk Tea has been withdrawn after test results showed it contained the industrial chemical melamine.
A number of children have died and more than 50,000 infants have fallen ill in China after drinking powdered milk containing the chemical.
Lydia Buchtmann from Food Standards Australia New Zealand says the product is sold at Asian food shops and comes in a can.
"The advice is don't consume it and dispose of it safely, but of course not to be too concerned because you'd have to consume this quite often virtually everyday for weeks or even months to have any ill effect," she said.
