Heinz Co has recalled some infant food in eastern China after it was found to contain lead in excess of the allowable limit, the company said on Monday. The move by Heinz comes after food safety regulators in eastern Zhejiang province said on Friday that they had found &quot;excessive amounts of lead&quot; in the company's AD Calcium Hi-Protein Cereal. &quot;This relates to an isolated regional withdrawal in eastern China,&quot; company spokesman Michael Mullen said in e-mailed comments to Reuters. &quot;Extensive testing confirmed that no other Heinz baby food varieties are affected.&quot; On Sunday the Zhejiang Food and Drug Administration said the problem affected 1,472 boxes in Zhejiang and that Heinz had told the agency it would destroy the other 153 boxes that are sealed in a warehouse in the southern city of Guangzhou.</p><br clear="all"/>
