Fonterra says China has lifted a ban on the last two products that were embroiled in last year's contaminated infant formula scare.

The dairy giant said the two products - whey powder and base powder containing whey for infant formula - accounted for about 3 percent of its total exports to China, and it would be able to resume selling the ingredients to Chinese-based infant formula manufacturers.
The ban in China was imposed in August last year after the scare over whey powder potentially being contaminated with a bacteria that causes botulism.
The scare prompted product recalls and import bans in various markets.
