Melamine illegally added to milk and other food products gives the appearance of higher protein levels. Health Minister Liow Tiong Lai however was quick to assure parents that Malaysia did not import dairy products from China, the state Bernama news agency reported late yesterday, citing a health ministry statement. China said this week that milk powder tainted with melamine, which is used in plastics, had sickened at least 6200 babies nationwide and killed four over a period of many months. Neighbouring Singapore suspended the import and sale of all milk and milk products from China yesterday, after local tests found samples containing melamine in two China-made brands of milk products. The US coffee chain Starbucks stopped serving drinks with milk in many Chinese outlets after the Chinese Government ordered a mass recall of dairy products. Yili, Mengniu and Guangming - big brands consumed and trusted by hundreds of millions of Chinese - were affected by the recall after authorities checked their products and found traces of melamine. <*}}}>< <http://www.holypostage.com/>Holy Postage ~ Share your faith <*}}}>< <*}}}>< <http://www.flickr.com/groups/holypostage/>Holy Postage on <http://www.flickr.com/groups/holypostage/>Flickr <*}}}>< <*}}}>< <http://holypostage.mofuse.mobi/>Holy Postage on your Mobile <*}}}>< Holy Postage ~ Share your faith <http://holypostage.mofuse.mobi/> Lord, may everything we do begin with Your inspiration and continue with Your help, so that all our prayers and works may begin in You and by You be happily ended.
