* Says now has all necessary regulatory clearances
* Says can complete tender offer on April 29

NEW YORK/COPENHAGEN, April 15 (Reuters) - Chinese regulators have approved U.S. chemicals group DuPont's $6 billion acquisition of Danish food ingredients and enzymes producer Danisco, completing all the necessary clearances, DuPont said on Friday.
Clearance by China was the last major regulatory hurdle after U.S. and European Union regulators approved the friendly takeover announced in January.
"All regulatory conditions have now been met and the fully-financed tender offer can be completed on April 29, 2011," DuPont said in a statement.
But the deal has yet to win approval from Danisco shareholders.
On March 30, DuPont extended its 665 Danish crowns ($128.9) per share offer for Danisco to April 29 after Danisco shareholders with only 6 percent of the stock had accepted the bid.
DuPont, which wants Danisco's technology as part of a bigger push into the foods business, has said it requires acceptance by owners of at least 90 percent of Danisco shares to carry out the transaction and delist Danisco.
Acceptance of the deal by Danisco shareholders had been sluggish pending regulatory approvals, and some Danisco stockholders have called on DuPont to sweeten its offer, but the U.S. company has repeatedly said it will not raise its bid.
"Our offer is full, fair and firm and it provides shareholders risk-free, certain and immediate value at an attractive price," DuPont Chief Executive Ellen Kullman said in the statement. "We encourage shareholders to act now and tender their shares before the fast approaching deadline."
Danisco shares traded up 0.2 percent at 668.50 crowns, 3.50 above the bid level at 1431 GMT, outperforming a flat Copenhagen bourse's bluechip index which was down 0.2 percent.
