Milk Crisis in China

Milk Crisis in China continue to spread as latest tests revealed that an industrial chemical known as"melamine" were found in three of the country's leading dairy companies.

Melamine is a toxic industrial chemical that can cause kidney stones and lead to kidney failure. It has no nutritional value but is high in nitrogen, making products with it appear higher in protein. Suppliers trying to cut costs are believed to have added it to watered-down milk to cover up the resulting protein deficiency.

Tainted milk is the main reason for killing four infants and sickening 50,000 others.

BFAD Director Leticia Gutierrez directed all importers and distributors of “registered milk products from China to immediately stop temporarily from further importing, distributing, selling and offering for sale.
