Fifty babies in China suffered from kidney stones with one death as a result of using Chinese milk powder. The case only reignited fears of Chinese product safety. U.S. authorities has cautioned to not use any Chinese food formulas. There was no official waring issued in Canada as Canadian officials are looking into the threat. The contaminated milk powder was a product of Sanlu Group Co. which is the biggest producer of powder milk in China. The Chinese government recalled over 700 tonnes of milk powder said to be contaminate with melamine, a chemical that is used in plastics. The Chinese government quotes, "Those responsible will face serious punishment" but there is little they can do to regain the trust of their customers overseas. Over 200 Chinese infants has suffered from contaminated or phony food products sold by Chinese companies.
The Chinese should have more control over its regulation. There should be more monitering of their own companies. They are a communist country, how can the government expect the world community to seriously beleive that the government had no idea of this going on. The Chinese have to fix the corruption in their government and maybe over time consumers will begin to trust Chinese products.
