Sri Lanka has lifted a temporary ban on the sale of some Anchor milk powder made by Fonterra, after local tests found it did not cause illness in children.

The country's ministry of health suspended three batches of 400 gram Anchor full cream milk powder after receiving three customer complaints.

A government official says sample tests have not found any negative reports.

Fonterra earlier said independent investigations into the three batches proved they were safe to consume.
