Melamine Addition to Our Food Supply

Melamine addition to non-fat dry milk used in baby formula caused over 50,000 children serous illness in China last month. In an effort to boost protein content to watered-down milk Chinese milk suppliers were found to be adding melamine, a chemical high in nitrogen. The high levels of nitrogen can fool tests to verify protein levels. This practice is not new in China, last Spring melamine addition was the reason for the unsafe pet food recall.
Don’t be alarmed just prudent. Stay clear of protein rich foods from China.
