"A fresh scandal over toxic milk products has shocked Chinese consumers, with state media today reporting claims that officials waited almost a year before warning the public.
The government pledged to clean up the dairy industry in autumn 2008, when 300,000 babies were taken ill and six died after drinking melamine-tainted Sanlu-brand infant formula. The issue reared its head again last week when food safety authorities in Shanghai announced they had shut down the Shanghai Panda company after discovering it was producing condensed milk and milk powder laced with the same chemical. The China Daily newspaper suggested today that officials began investigating the company as early as February last year." --clip-- http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jan/06/china-melamine-milk-shanghai-panda Chinese milk scandal '08 Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal Juha-Matti _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
