Milk Powder

Nearly 10 percent of milk samples from three top Chinese dairy companies was tainted with melamine, the government quality watchdog found after testing for the banned chemical that has killed four children.

A nationwide check found melamine contamination in dairy products ran wider than the tainted milk powder that has made thousands of infants ill and sparked a widening scandal.

The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine pointed its finger at two of China's top dairy producers.

Almost one-tenth of liquid milk batches from Meng-niu Dairy and Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group contained melamine, a compound banned in food.

Several samples of liquid milk from the Bright dairy group also had the substance, which can be used to bamboozle quality checks.

My Reactions:

Chinese milk powder killed 4 children, victims number on the rise.

These days a scandle broke out wide-known about the milk powder in China around the world. To our great shock,that tainted milk powder was even made by three top famous dairy companies of china. Sadly speaking, it has killed four innocent children and sickened nearly 53000 babies. What’s worse, we have no idea if still there are parents not knowing this sensational incident, keeping feeding their kids with that deadly milk powder, putting them in great danger.

I feel completely sorry for the death, extremely indignant at those vicious dairy companies. However, what is done cannot be undone. Not only looking into all the substances which all the dairy products contain but also investigating all the other products are top priorities the authorities concerned should take in no time. In my opinion, these conscienceless supercriminals should be sentenced to life imprisonment. Taking this punishment is the best method of showing their responsibility which they are definitely supposed to take for this tragedy. They have done something offensive to God and reason, and been ruthless and devoid of human feelings, for their own benefit. Obviously these supercriminals did not care about what consequences would be brought about when thinking up such an evil idea, starting such immoral business.

Nevertheless, what we have to do is prevent tragedies from happening again but cry for spilt milk. We do not lack tragedies but happiness- something we never have too much.(237)
