China Milk Scandal


I read the recent new with horror, is not that Lehman brother had bankrupt or Morgen Stanley is getting into trouble... is the MILK HORROR! China's milk scandal escalated dramatically as it emerged the illegal chemical blamed for killing four babies had been detected in a wide range of dairy products, leading to mass recalls.Authorities in mainland China said melamine, the chemical normally used in plastics that was initially found in infant milk powder, was also in regular milk being sold by three of the country's biggest dairy companies. Even before the milk scandal, foreign media investigations had discovered wide use of melamine in China to give livestock feed the appearance of higher protein content. So, in long run we dun know what will happen to those who ate the chicken, duck and cow. The unscrupulous people is really inhuman, they should have kids of their own too! How can they do such thing.

Although we always trusted Singapore that most of the imported product is safe but this time round we are not so lucky. The test result show that the yogurt bar and milk are tainted too! My neighbour's girl used to drink alot of Morn milk, her mum buy in carton! Bet she is very worried now. I drank 1 small packet when they are given as sample pack during promotion :( GEEZ... I just started to trust china product after Olympic and now....

Guess is best stick to basic, breast milk is the safest, not tainted, all natural, is free (important coz of inflation) and it came with nice container! I am so glad that I total breast feed my 2 son as long as I could. Hope all mummies do so too.
