Chinese at it again

Melamine, the same stuff alleged to have killed perhaps thousands of American pet dogs and cats, has now been found in baby formula in China. This has led to kidney stones in many babies and at least one death. China is blaming dairy farmers there for adding the chemical to milk, which was also thought to have been adulterated by the addition of water.

Here in the USA you can count on every drop of your milk being thoroughly tested for foreign substances, including water, long before it reaches your table. US authorities are warning people to be wary of infant formula of Chinese origin, which, although not legal for import, may slip into certain ethnic markets.
