I’ve received some SMS from friend asking people not to consume dairy related products from China due to the milk scandal there…
Among the items listed in the SMS are M&M, Snickers, Mentos?, Yoghurt drink, Oreo, dutchlady milk, Wall’s icecream, etc…
This SMS has been circulating around and dunno whether it is just rumours or truth… or just some pranksters trying to scare off people or just someone trying to sabotage these food items… :roll: :roll: :roll:
I received it too this morning. True or not ah? I just throw away 2 big packs for Dutch Lady milk formula which was supposed to be for my kids.
Wah, you really throw it away kah, Val ?
Should just keep it forst pending the confirmation of the news.
DUNNO LEH. hahaa…scared mah. Hahaha…it’s for kids to consume. I dare not take the risk lor. Still, I hope the sms is untrue lah. Magnum ice-cream also stated in it. I love magnum ice-cream lar. haha…and the yoghurt bottle. What is that? do u know??

Magnum ice cream is marketed by Walls. So, they indicate here most of the Walls ice-cream lah… how bout other ice-cream?
The yoghurt bottle could mean yoghurt drink in bottle (450ml / 500ml bottle?).

huh?? why ask Ian???
because ian made those ice cream mah…hehehehe CABUT!!
guys,
the predominant symptom in this case, is the painfull growth of kidney stones?
to share:
an elder local Chinese engineer, previously flown down to Kuching, where he then had the op to remove large stone.
the advice he got given, was that a natural remedy,
involves a diet of 5 apples a day,
over a period of 1 week,
& that this would have substantially reduced problem.
i DO NOT suggest that infants are treated this way,
but is to share that, for Elder children & adults,
it is possibly beneficial (from the advice given to me, from the engineer) that more fruit in the diet,
will help alleviate any possible tainted consumption.
would suggest that you do keep alert to any possible further developments,
mayb less lattes, for the kids…till problem resolved
Did I miss out anythg from this thread?? Coz I dun see any of Ian’s postings in this thread…and y ask Ian??
Ian…where r u??? hahahahaa…
last night i just ate ice cream also… cham!!! kidney stone coming…
A quick check with Wikipedia:
Contaminated baby formula
In September 2008, a fresh outbreak of kidney disease occurred, due to baby formula contaminated by melamine. Three babies died and over 6,000 were made sick by the tainted formula. The supplier of the milk, Sanlu Group, is a name brand and is a major player in the industry in China. The company is said to have known of the problem for months, but claims the contaminant came from milk suppliers.
Impact on adulterated milk outside mainland China
Expressing concern over the possibility of contaminated milk powder being sold in speciality markets serving the Asian community in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration issued an advisory on 12 September 2008.[33] Although products exported were said not to have been affected by contamination, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) found the Dutch Lady brand of strawberry flavoured milk manufactured in China to be contaminated with melamine; this product has been recalled and destroyed;White Rabbit Creamy Candy was similarly found to have been contaminated. Taiwan ordered King Car Food, which used milk powder imported from mainland China, to recall eight of its products, including soups and some Mr. Brown instant coffee.
Friesland Foods recalled all of its plastic-bottled milk in Hong Kong and Macau; Hong Kong authorities ordered a recall of Yili products after 8 out of 30 tested positive for melamine. Mengniu, whose product tested negative in Hong Kong government tests, and Yili liquid milk was immediately de-listed by supermarket chains after tests showed that contaminated samples had been found on the mainland. Mengniu’s CFO attempted to reassure consumers by offering a no-quibble refund on all products, and by drinking liquid milk in front of reporters. He also said that its export products were less likely to be contaminated.
"Nestl Dairy Farm Pure Milk" was found to contain traces of melamine at 1.4ppm: six products were found to be contaminated by third-party tests, and were withdrawn.
CHOOOOOOOOOIIIII…touchwood!!
