It’s not over yet. More countries are involved. The EU is checking their biscuits, South Korea is checking their butter, African countries, Asian countries, Has anyone heard from North Korea? I wonder if the only subject of the Yu, Yan and Rice meetings is nukes? If you know anyone shopping asian, again, let them know. Milk, milk powder, butter, dairy derivatives, processed foods containing dairy, like cookies, biscuits, breads, puddings, creams. Hey, it’s just me, but that’s what I’d be wondering about. Processed foods are the worst at containing things you didn’t expect. Check the labels, It’s your life, if you’re aren’t sure don’t buy it. (more…)

FDA Update on Infant Formula, and?

The FDA is not finding evidence of melamine contaminated infant formula thus far in the USA. However, note at the bottom of the statement they are also now checking into milk derived products generally, in asian markets. If you know anyone who shops asian, let them know. For myself, I’d be wondering about the “finished food products” like maybe cookies? Almond Pudding? CHECK THE LABELS! On the other hand, in some asian products, that’s no guarantee either. (more…)

I’m crossposting this article from chinaview because it is so important. It is in line with the recent FDA warning to beware of infant formula in Asian markets. The facts now are that this was going on at the same time we had melamine related pet deaths in the United States. Be sure and click on the link below to read the entire article:
Three year cover up in China milk scandal
Posted by chinaview on September 19, 2008
The Radio Australia, September 19, 2008-
[Reports in the Chinese media suggest the company at the centre of a contaminated milk scandal knew it had a problem as far back as 2005.
Our correspondent Kerri Ritchie reports, more than 6,000 children in China are sick and four babies have died after drinking milk laced with melamine.
Chinese media is reporting dairy company Sanlu knew its products were contaminated three years ago but kept quiet.
Sanlu’s chairwoman has been sacked along with a number of government officials.
New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra part-owns Sanlu.
Fonterra knew about the crisis six weeks before it went public.
New Zealand trade minister Phil Goff doesn’t believe Fonterra’s representatives at Sanlu should be arrested but he says Fonterra should learn some lessons.
“China is a market of huge opportunity but it’s also a market which operates quite differently from New Zealand,” he said.
Fonterra says it’s now doing all it can to make things right.
Meanwhile, the Chinese government quality watchdog says nearly 10 per cent of milk samples taken from top Chinese dairy companies was contaminated by melamine….]

We trained hard–but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing. And what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization.–Gaius Petronius Arbiter
The above quote pretty much sums up how I felt about implementation of the “No Child Left Behind” (NCLB) Act. If you haven’t read this article yet from a past teacher on the Confluence, be sure and do so:
No Child Left Undamaged
Posted on September 13, 2008 by garychapelhill
[I spent several years working as a high school teacher. I had always wanted to be a teacher and enjoyed it very much. I was going to make it my lifelong career. NCLB ended all that. After George W Bush was appointed president by the SCOTUS in 2001, he was under some pressure to extend an olive branch to the Democrats. Instead, with the help of Ted Kennedy, he offered them a Trojan horse called The No Child Left Behind Act:]

FDA Issues Health Information Advisory on Infant Formula

Remember the melamine in the pet food? It’s not panic time. It’s an advisory for asian markets. However, if you know someone with babies who shops asian, let them know!
In response to reports of contaminated milk-based infant formula manufactured in China, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today is issuing a Health Information Advisory. This is to assure the American public that there is no known threat of contamination in infant formula manufactured by companies that have met the requirements to sell infant formula in the United States. Although no Chinese manufacturers of infant formula have fulfilled the requirements to sell infant formula in the United States, FDA officials are investigating whether or not infant formula manufactured in China is being sold in specialty markets which serve the Asian community.
