China's product safety watchdog says it has revoked the business licenses of two firms that exported wheat protein tainted with toxic chemicals to the United States. The General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said Friday that the two companies unlawfully added melamine in some of its products. The tainted wheat gluten from the companies ended up in pet food in the United States, and was blamed for a spate of dog and cat deaths.
