P&G says Pringles not made with banned additive

Pringles potato chips are not made with an additive banned in China, Procter &Gamble Co, which markets the potato chips, said on Friday.

China state media had reported on Friday that a batch of chips had been blocked from import.

The batch of barbecue-flavored chips was blocked in July for containing potassium bromate, a flour-enhancing additive, according to a notice posted on the Web site of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, China's quality watchdog.
