Hi THis is really IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!PLS READ THIS!!!!!

China vowed to prevent toxic milk from reaching processors and export markets after an infant powder scandal that has made more than 54,000 children sick and mired the nation's trade reputation in fresh crisis.

Milk powder laced with the industrial chemical melamine has led to nearly 13,000 Chinese infants being admitted to hospital, 104 in a serious condition with kidney stones and agonizing complications. Four have died in past months.

The chemical, which can be used to cheat quality checks, has also been found in candy, buns and carton milk sold to other countries and regions, unleashing fear in markets already shaken by a string of "made-in-China" scandals last year.

Outside the mainland, only two children in Hong Kong have so far been stricken by illness blamed on the toxic Chinese milk powder.

China has said it found melamine in nearly 10 percent of milk and drinking yoghurt samples from three major dairy companies: Mengniu Dairy Co., the Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group and the Bright Dairy group.

Sun singled out local "milk stations," which collect fresh milk from farmers and sell it on. Their operators have been blamed for adding nitrogen-rich melamine to sub-standard or watered-down milk, fooling quality checks measuring protein, also rich in nitrogen. Many were unregistered and unregulated, he said.

"The intermediate link in purchasing raw milk is basically out of control," he said. "These grave problems and this state of disorder have reached the stage where a clean-up is unavoidable."

Malaysia extended its ban on Chinese dairy products to chocolates, sweets and other foods containing milk, the official Bernama news agency reported. Vietnam stopped sales of milk products from unidentified sources and ordered checks focused on finding those from China,

So Whenever you choose a milk product, PLS REMEMBER TO CHECK THE LABEL, TO SEE IF IT IS FROM CHINA.
