Pirated Milk

Mengnui Milk, Yili Fresh Milk Tested Positive for Melamine

I’m watching a press conference with the officials responsible for food safety. Two products have tested positive for melamine, the contaminate which has caused so many health problems in China.

Before you panic, these before-mentioned products were apparently smuggled into the Philippines. They are sold in containers with only Chinese characters (no English). The Philippines requires products which are sold here to have English labels. Lessons We Should Learn: 1) Don’t buy Milk if there’s no English on the container’s label 2) Buy your milk at legitimate grocery stores.

The officials held up a long list of products that have tested negative for melamine.  You can visit the Bureau of Food and Drugs for more information.

So far there have been no melamine-related illnesses reported in the Philippines.
