As the melamine in milk products from China problem continues to grow apace, Sciencebase presents a succinct list of melamine contaminated food list culled from the most recent news results on the subject. This is by no means an exhaustive list nor is it a condemnation of any particular products, it’s here merely to raise awareness of what is happening with regard to the melamine in milk scandal.

Hi david. I live in the philippines and due to so much corruption and highly unreliable government regulation there are so many products on the lists that are so blatantly being sold even by our high end grocery, cadbury had already been dumping their chocolates in our market when salmonella contamination story came out. the animal food products recalled worldwide??? they were selling it here at veterinary hospitals…..
anyways – a new produc suddenly flooding the market is a 3 in 1 coffee mix called OLD TOWN (manufactured by WHITE CAFE SDN BHD) coming out of Malaysia. Any info on tis brand by any chance over there?
thanks

As a milk prodcuer in Canada, yes that right a dairy farmer I will have you know that both Canada and the U.S have the highest milk saftey standards in the world. Their is absolutley no other products mixed in with milk or powdered milk. Canada and the U.S produces more than enough milk to supply all of our marker needs and yes we makes loads of powdered milk for use in baked and processed goods. What baffles me is why we allow milk or any food product across our borders from countries who do not in anyway meet the required standards our own food producers must meet? Go ahead, drink american milk, it is pure and sterlized and good for you. As for the baked goods and processed food producers, they the ones with the greed problem since they perfer to pay less for poisoness milk rather than pay the going price for home grown safe dairy products.
damn my favorite cadbury contains melamine!
I guess we better just stick to the farmer’s market and avoid all processed foods as this melamine scare has reached out to all parts of the globe and not just w/ asian named products, either. Maybe we were better off before the the processed food explosion occurred in the 1970′s. Incidentally, that is when I gained a significant amount of weight – when processed food hit the market!
my fav lemon puff biscuits banned by food and drug authority …
