NO to CHINESE DAIRY

Countries across the world have been traumatized about the deaths caused by China made dairy products. To date, 4 infants have died and 13 000 children have been hospitalized. The problem started when an investigation confirmed that the contaminated Sanlu baby milk powder as the cause of kidney stones in infants. According to China Daily, Sanlu Group found that its powdered milk products were contaminated with melamine during an internal company QC in August. However, the report wasn't released till it caused such a disaster. Melamine is a chemical substance which is usually used in production of plastic, glues and fabrics. It is used in food products to increase the protein content but, the use is unethical. Other than milk powder, liquid milk, yogurt and ice-cream which contains dairy substances are also said to be contaminated. Most Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Bangladesh and a few African countries have banned the import of milk and dairy products from China. The main products which have been banned by Singapore and Malaysia are Dutch Lady strawberry milk and Yili Choice Dairy Fruit Bar, White Rabbit Creamy Candy, However, China officials have confirmed that the tainted dairy products are not exported but are only used in the mainland of China and certain parts of Taiwan. Quite a number of actions have been taken in order to overcome the issue this includes the sack of Sanlu GM and mayor of Shijiazhuang and the resignation of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ). No matter what actions are taken, this incident will definitely create a fear on consuming China made products. This will also affect the country's economical growth.
