Milk Scandal Again

Aug 12, 2010

A Chinese maker of infant formula is being accused of causing sexual prematurity in a number of months-old babies. The Beijing-based Health Times said infants and toddlers fed with the formula had developed breasts. The company involved, Synutra International, has denied the accusations and says its products are free of hormones. This is just the latest food-safety scare involving baby formula products in China. In the most serious, in 2008, melamine added to milk caused widespread illnesses and a number of infant deaths. Public health concern has mounted and much of that is being discussed online. Our researcher Quincy Hsiao joins us now from the newsroom with the latest.

Synutra Cleared In Milk Scandal

Now as we reported last week(?) three infant girls in Hubei province were found to be suffering from a condition known as precocious puberty. Suspicion fell on a well know infant feed formula which all had apparently been using. Chinese food safety authorities this week announced that Synutra, the dairy company involved, was in no way responsible for the children’s conditions. But, as BON’s Andrew Livingstone reports, the readiness of society - and the media - to blame the milk powder company is a clear indication of the lack of confidence in China’s food safety standards - and their implementation.

Synutra Cleared In Milk Scandal
Beijing's Gray Rainbow
More Tainted Milk Discovered

The 2008 toxic milk scandal was one of the worst food safety scandals in recent history. The chemical melamine, used in making plastics and fertilizers, had been added to watered-down milk, in order to raise protein levels and fool food safety inspectors.

The tainted milk powder was responsible for the deaths of at least six babies and caused illness in around 300,000 people.

It also caused a collapse in public confidence in food safety, brought the ever-sensitive topic of political corruption to the fore once more, as well as severely damaging the reputation of China's exports, with 11 countries stopping all imports of Chinese dairy produce.
New Milk Scandal

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.
