you would think that maybe this would have stopped but until they place some kind of controls on
food safety here i guess the quest for the almighty yaun is more important than peoples safety. and
the health safety minister just last sunday found nothing :o
China has seized more than 100 tonnes of melamine-contaminated milk powder in its northern provinces, state media says.
A total of 103 tonnes of milk powder from four dairy brands in Hebei, Shanxi and Tianjin provinces were found to be laced with the industrial chemical melamine, in the latest case of food safety problems in the world's most populous country.
Authorities have detained 41 suspects in the case.
In July, samples of milk powder found in north-western provinces Gansu and Qinghai had levels of the chemical melamine up to 500 times beyond the permitted limit.
The Xinhua news agency says more than 124 tonnes of the milk powder in Qinghai have been seized since then and six people have been arrested.
In 2008, melamine in Chinese milk powder, which caused the deaths of at least six children and made nearly 300,000 children ill, sparked global and national outrage.
Melamine is an industrial chemical added to milk to fool inspectors by giving a misleadingly high protein level test reading.
Last Sunday, China's health ministry said that it had found no evidence of contamination in milk powder after reports said it had caused baby girls to show signs of premature sexual development.

Anything that is a whitish powdery substance is suspicious to all customs whether China or any other. It will show up on the scams as being organic.
But why the hell are you taking Milk Powder to China.
