Jolly Cow, Melamine, and More on the Milk Scare

As many of you know, Jolly Cow Slender milk has tested positive for Melamine.  Only the “slender” product tested positive–Jolly Cow Fresh milk has apparently tested negative.  Fly Ace (the Philippines distributor) has pulled all Jolly Cow Slender from shelves and is only selling New Zealand products.  You can read their official statement here.

That makes three brands which have tested positive, but the other two were illegally smuggled into the Philippines.

I actually drank some of that before-mentioned milk a few weeks ago.  I didn’t have any problems, other than a third arm which mysteriously sprouted between my shoulders (yes, that’s a joke). 

We do need to test everything for Melamine, but I want to put things in perspective:

*Protecting children (especially infants) needs to be the main concern.  They drink more milk relative to body mass, and they have smaller (and thus more vulnerable) kidneys.

*The brand I drank tested 4 parts per million.  Some of the tainted products in China tested 6,196 parts per million.
