WSJ-Baby Formula Contaminated Like Pet Food
I was digging below many of the headlines that are above the fold today and came across this story in the Wall Street Journal. http://adjix.com/rh84
The Chinese Ministry of Health is reporting that Melamine has been found in baby formula or baby powder. This is the same substance that was deemed to have killed thousands of pets last year. The chemical was added to pet food in order for the protein levels in the food to appear higher.
So far 59 infants have come down with cases of kidney stones in China this year. So far China has not identified if or how much of this baby formula may have been exported around the world.
This is not China's first problem with baby formula. In 2004, 13 or more babies died after drinking fake formula with no nutritional value.
