The number of Chinese babies known to have fallen ill with kidney stones as a result of contaminated milk powder has risen to 432, officials have announced.

"This is a severe food safety accident," health ministry official Gao Qiang, said. Those responsible would be "severely" punished, he added.

Later, it was announced that 19 people had been arrested.

Tests showed the milk powder contained the industrial chemical melamine. One infant has died.

The new scare revived memories of a fake baby milk formula scandal four years ago in which at least 13 babies died.

Vow to punish

"As of 12 September, there are 432 cases of kidney stones in the urinary systems of infants according to reports from health departments nationwide," Gao Qiang said.

"None of the milk powder was exported to other countries or regions," Mr Gao said.

"Only a fraction of the milk powder was sold to Taiwan for food processing," he added.

Gao Qiang said the Sanlu Group had been ordered to halt production after its products were found to be responsible.

"We will severely punish and discipline those people and workers who have acted illegally," Mr Gao said.

Melamine is a toxic chemical used in plastics, fertilisers and cleaning products.

  • In Belgium a chicken farmer mixed grain with used car oil a few years ago...Greed is everywhere. The differnece is communication: in China oppression and fear means that people are less likely to report this type of activity...because communist officials themselves can be involved!

  • Chinese government stinks a lot the whole world smelled the stench!

  • Its always about screwing over someone else to make money! That is the way of the world now days! No Ethics, respect for human life. These people dont care about there actions.False advertising is at its all time high! if you do research on products that they claim work and do something you find out its all LIES!! It is almost impossible to hold anyone or business accountable for there LIES and DECEPTION!. It starts at the Government and trickles down, totaly accepted! Big business is CORRUPT!.!

  • Please support Mike Mozart on YouTube who is working hard to get the word out on Melamine! He cares about people from all countries.

    He is the number 1 rated video on YouTube of all time - melamine story.

    He has an earth shattering video to be released today.

    Thanks!

  • Why couldn't the CCP stop the Western retailers etc, then? Are they scared of the West or something? No, it's because they (the CCP) stand to gain, too.

    Don't put the blame on others when you're the one responsible, please. Thank you.

  • Dictator CCP is using the LAW of JUNGLE in China!

  • the Chinese comunist party (CCP) internal document/instruction to the court..:-

    Do NOT handle any cases for sue-ing for toxic formula for compensation.

    Those lawyers, who voluntary help the affected people/babies, are warned of being disqualified, and their law firm will be in trouble.

    ....the legal system of CCP...no justice at all.

  • Good Discussion , But we musnt forget the Chinese and many other east asian companys are forced to go to unethical practices due to extreme price pressures they are put upon by the greedy western Retailers . Anyone is aware when Big US & European retailers buy from Asia they bargain dirt cheap .Although this milk instance is China's problem, you can find the same situations in Toy industry , Garment industry , footwear industry .West is also responsible !!

  • Im an American in Taiwan and I and my family have eaten the white rabbit candy and Nestle laced candy from China and drank many products laced with melamine. That pathetic President Hu Jintao is responsible for allowing it to go on for so many years. It is clear that the persona that China tries to show is clearly a fake persona. They are rude, cruel and heartless. They dont deserve to be in the UNITED NATIONS! They should be investigated by the UN Commission on International Trade Law.

  • I wonder why you keep on seeing Chinese nationalists commenting with pride on the Beijing Olympic videos yet they remain silent on videos like these? Shame, perhaps?
