More melamine-tainted milk discovered in China
The industrial chemical melamine was found last year in the products of three more dairy companies, following a scandal involving tainted milk powder in 2008.
Products from Shandong Zibo Lusaier Dairy, Liaoning Tieling Wuzhou Food and Laoting Kaida Refrigeration Plant were removed from shelves in early 2009 after they were found to contain excessive levels of the chemical, according to a report in state media issued this month.
This follows news of the closure of Shanghai Panda Dairy in 2009 after its milk powder was found to be contaminated with melamine; while that contamination occurred in April 2009, it was not reported in the domestic media until New Year's Eve.
