Chinese milk scandal goes beyond China and goes beyond milk!

British chocolate maker Cadbury on Monday became the latest foreign company to be hit by China's tainted milk scandal, ordering a recall of its Chinese-made products after saying tests "cast doubt" on their safety.

Two U.S. food makers were meanwhile investigating Indonesian claims that high traces of the industrial chemical melamine had been found in Chinese-made Oreos, M&Ms and Snickers, but stressed the same goods had tested negative in other Asian countries.

They said they were looking into all possibilities, including counterfeiting.

The milk scandal erupted earlier this month when China's public learned that melamine, which is used to make plastics and fertilizer, had been found in milk powder and was linked to kidney stones in children. Contamination has since turned up in liquid milk, yogurt and other products made with milk.

Four deaths have been blamed on the bad milk and some 54,000 children have developed kidney stones or other illnesses after drinking tainted baby formula.

Countries across Asia have removed items from shelves or banned them outright.

Myanmar added its name to the list on Monday, saying dairy items from China would be barred from entering its military-ruled country. The Philippines warned exporters they would be locked out of its market if they did not fully disclose the origins of their products

It's a shame that a poisoned Chinese milk is ruining the reputation of a good brand like Cadbury.

I just don't think its fair how the media outputs the Chinese like this. America isn't one to talk about food products. if you go back in history food products that had rat parts, nails, glass, I mean the lists go on. sure its back in the past. but an incident like this shouldn't be blown up like this

China rules the world through USA. China & USA are world rulers ! Where is my white rabbit confectionary ? [Pet Shops ?] Where do rabbits come from ? Why they always got to go back pet shops ? Are they 9-11 perpetrators ? And, are the white artificial barley sweets "Torrone" having the same problem ?

@ S1587915G:

Thank you for the compliment, you are TOO sweet. But for the fun of it, I would like to point out that I am not from China. I am American.

Isn't it wonderful that China could produce people who are so cultured and have such good manners, like chibi4lyfe?

@ S1587915G:

I think you are a very immature and attention-seeking person. I noticed that you did not mention the fact that you were Chinese. Why are you attacking your own country? Why only mention your ethnicity when it is favorable? You two-faced jerk. Go drink your mother's milk if you're so afraid of your country's. Were you trying to sound cute? Well, you sound nothing but cute.

@ yuqikang:

Yes, coffee would be safe as long as the milk in it is not from China. Make sure "melamine" is not in the ingredient list (even though they probably won't list it) and drink brand name coffee produced only in the US.
