Melamine was the stuff that caused all those fatalities when it was used to falsely boost the protein ratings in pet foods.

Somebody decided to put it in baby formula. (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iCL58EMBN1tqq6xujZlsaITAFpCQD939KI7G0)

What they need is a specific assay for melamine, to pick up this common contaminant. That wouldn't be hard to do in any decent analytical laboratory setting.
