GD crack downs on new cases of melamine contaminated milk
Guangdong yesterday (1st) started a 10-day campaign to crack down on tainted milk powder, which contains inappropriately high levels of melamine. The National Health Ministry reported 7 brands of toxic milk powder from 2 dairy product manufacturers. However, it seems that Guangzhou has so far been spared from the scandal as the city hasn't found any tainted milk powder currently on sale. Local authorities have once again assured the public that all the tainted milk powder found back in 2008 was destroyed at that time, a statement which obviously allows people to question where the current tainted milk is coming from.
