Melamine contamination in milk products

[jadewhite]

Melamine in action again. Again, from China. Looks like we got to say "no" to China products.

Quote from : http://www.sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=25867

Yili, a Beijing Olympic Games sponsor, already faced a recall in Hong Kong, where authorities found that eight of its 30 products, including ice-cream and yoghurt ice bars, contained melamine.

The Centre for Food Safety today warned the public not to consume dairy products from Mainland brand Yili as eight samples of its goods were found to contain melamine.

S'pore bans import of ALL milk and dairy from China...The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) said on Friday that they have banned the import and sale of all milk and dairy products from China with immediate effect after tests found melamine contamination in two brands of China-made milk products....

The chemical was found in two samples of Yili Brand Choice Dairy Fruit Bar Yogurt Flavoured Ice Confection, and also in the Dutch Lady brand of strawberry flavoured milk manufactured in China...

I don't think you have anything to worry about unless you had bought it in Singapore. I do not think Dutch Lady Malaysia use milk from China.

Yup...after verified ...those I bought are from Malaysia...phiu .

Latest report from AVA Singapore confirmed that ..."19 dairy and milk products from China sold in Singapore are well-known products such as Magnum, Meiji and Walls ice cream, Rabbit milk candy, and Monmilk and Yili milk. Meng Niu Group, which produces Monmilk, and the Yili Group have been implicated in the scandal in China."

Better than loosing sleep over the issue, best to ban oneself from ALL China sourced milk products, IF you think it has any ingredient that may come from there!. Let them culprits SUFFER the consequences for cheating consumers!.

Dont just worry about melamine there are so many other poisonous agents in our food that are more lethal, and one day we will be told about it, so mean time live and let live because nothing is safe to eat presently. Take the risk and hope for the best.

Do you think the manufactures or the so called "authorities" sincerly care for your health?

Only when there's threat to their profit margin.
Ask yourself one question. In Malaysia, Would you go to the press or revert back to manufacturers for action if something not right is found?.

Please do not get confused with products imported by Singapore (AVA) and Malaysia.

Simple rule of thumb - if it is made in China, then be careful. I always check the labels - way before the melamine scare

What I meant was, I check and look for alternatives if it was a food product from China. Do not buy if you are not going to consume it.
