Chinese dairy knew milk fault weeks before recall

[Guest Mike and Lily]

My wife told me about the bad powered milk over 1 year ago. She wanted me to bring some from the USA last time I went to China, which I did. Now how is it we are just learning this from the news when my wife knew about this a long time ago??

 

China has to get past the safety issues with it's products before it can move on to make bigger and better things. Who will want to fly in a Chinese built airliner until the world has confidence in the products that China makes?

As the "world" remains preoccupied with China's growth pains, China continues to move forward, one giant leap at a time. Thousands of Chinese tourists travel every single day on Chinese built and piloted airliners. China has always seen itself as the Center of the world, and that which lies outside it, are the other folks.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall...

Too bad, I always liked White Rabbit

Daughter loved 'em! But we haven't bought any in many months.

 

Lao po is so embarrased by these stories that it's difficult for her to talk about them.

Ah I was wondering if you had "noticed" this thread at all Jesse...

 

It seems that this huge example of the most outrageously greedy behavior by hundreds of people up and down the supply ladder and many Chinese companies which has killed and sickened Chinese babies has now been reduced to "growth pains"...

You might double check that statement on the Chinese built airliners

Well Mikey that poster is known for shooting from the hip and worrying about the actual facts later...

 

But they are working on home-grown airliners in China...

Yes, you're right. The world's commercial aircraft fleet is predominated by Boeing, but things are changing...

An update from the NY Times...Dairy farmers claim that they are NOT the source of this melamine adulteration but it occured further up the supply line...however now they are the ones being hurt as there is no market for Chinese milk...

The bottom line: No amount of melamine is safe in infant formula.

 

For all other foods, only amounts less than 2.5 parts per million are risk free, U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials said.

[rogerluli]

609 batches of liquid milk from 27 cities showed no traces of melamine as everybody works hard to get the Chinese dairy industry back on it's hooves...

China is now promising a full investigation of it's dairy industry. China MUST get past these safety issues if the products that are made there will be accepted worldwide. The issues of poisoned pet food, lead paint in toys and now melamine tainted milk will hound China for years. If they don't nip this in the bud, the reputation of unsafe products from China may dog them for decades. (puns intended )

China takes this issue VERY seriously. Recent checks show milk and milk-products free of contaminants. All stores post signs stating that their milk is clean. The US has had its share of food and drug scares, and quickly recovered from them. No doubt, China will do the same.

In response to your question (or comment??), China tested both liquid and dry milk products.
