U.S. Blocks Food from China Containing Milk
The U.S. isn't letting anything in from China that contains milk, due to concerns of melamine contamination. So far, the industrial chemical has left tens of thousands of Chinese infants sick, and at least four dead, reports the Wall Street Journal.
The ban will include such products as infant's milk, regular milk, chocolate, cheese, ice cream, and pet food.
According to the FDA, shady stuff was happening. Some Chinese producers were watering down milk to make it go farther while adding melamine to increase the nitrogen and protein content to disguise the tampering.
