STORYLINE
China’s health minister Chen Zhu said on Wednesday that tainted milk formula has killed three Chinese babies and caused more than 6,200 to become sick in a spreading scandal that prompted three additional companies including China’s biggest dairy to recall products.
Officials said that about 20 percent of the dairy companies tested nationwide had sold products tainted with melamine.
Suppliers to the companies are thought to have added the banned chemical, normally used in plastics, to raw milk to make the milk appear higher in protein.
The companies included Mengniu Dairy, China’s biggest milk company, which said on Wednesday it was recalling its baby formula after government tests found melamine in the product.
The announcement said the recall covers three batches of formula made in January but gave no details on how much product will be affected.
It did not say whether any of Mengniu’s baby formula was exported.
Health Minister Chen told a televised news conference that 6,244 babies had been sickened after being feed tainted milk formula, and that 158 were suffering from acute kidney failure.
“With the announcement of the result of the nationwide melamine test on the baby formula milk powder, more and more parents will take their children to hospitals for check ups and we expect a sharp increase in the number of hospital admittance,” Chen told the media in Beijing.
The head of China’s quality watchdog, Li Changjiang, said that in addition to the company at the heart of the food scandal, Sanlu Group Compani, and Mengniu, two other companies, Guangdong-based Yashili and Qingdao-based Suncare, were recalling their products.
The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) had already reported that its inspectors had found melamine “in 69 batches of milk powder manufactured by 22 companies.”
The nationwide inspection by China’s quality watchdog agency took test samples from 109 companies that produce baby milk powder in China.
Li said another 66 companies had stopped production before the melamine problem emerged.
Yashili exported its products to Bangladesh, Yemen and Myanmar, but AQSIQ said initial testing of samples of the company’s exports turned up no trace of melamine.
In Hong Kong, food inspectors ordered a recall after melamine was found in an ice cream bar made by Shanghai Yili AB Foods.
Four other Hebei officials were fired on Tuesday.
