Just as China's dairy industry seems to be doing well, news of another melamine scandal breaks again. 

(Take VO)

This time, a total of 76 tons of milk powder and dairy products tainted with melamine were found. The samples contained up to 500 times the legal amount of the toxic substance. Some experts suspect the dairy is left over from the initial 2008 scandal, which killed six babies and caused 300,000 children to fall ill. The government ordered all tainted dairy to be destroyed, but reports of products laced with melamine continue to emerge. What's more, China issued new food safety regulations last year…leaving the public with many concerns about the effectiveness of the new laws. The new laws have lower protein and bacteria levels for farmers to meet, and are said to encourage self-regulation by companies. Yet officials insist the laws strengthen food safety and are not related to the recent scandal. An investigation is currently underway to determine the real cause of how milk powder has turned sour yet again.
