Tainted baby formula in China

[smokey the elder]

Richard!!

The formula was spiked with melamine for the exact same reason the pet food ingredient was: to boost the nitrogen assay, which indicates protein content.

I know, I am sorry.

IT's just that sometimes the literal evil in me comes out and I cannot resist.

Somewhere today the news said it was two brothers who have been arrested. They lost so much money on their last fiasco, that they thought watering down the milk and adding some melamine would boost their profits in sales.

How terribly, terribly sad. I somehow doubt just two people were responsible, I hope everyone who had any part in this is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and that companies will be penalized as well.

China is serious about prosecuting tampering. Some guy got executed for it earlier this year.

Smokey, pardon my cynicism, but he more likely got executed because he didn't pay enough bribe money. I find it hard to believe the melamine situation is a one man show.

Well, true. There's probably as much scapegoatism (is that even a word?) and showboating to trading partners as any real reform. BUT, the world is going to demand quality reforms or they just won't buy Chinese products no matter how cheap, if they make people sick.
