China Fake Powdered Milk Scare

11 09 2008

China Xinhua news has reported another possible “fake milk powder” incident. Infants from over 7 provinces have been suffering from kidney stones after drinking a powdered milk formula (Sanlu brand). In one hospital in Gansu province, thus far, 14 possible baby infant victims from the fake milk have been reported as suffering from kidney stones. There have been similar reporting in other provinces as well (Jiangsu, Shandong, Hunan, Anhui, NIngxia and Shaanxi).

The scare has rekindled fears from the last incident in 2004 when 13 babies in Anhui province died after drinking the fake milk powder which was found to contain no nutritional value.
