Chinese Melamine Scandal Continues

Due to the tainted milk scandal, the Chinese dairy industry is suffering with exports falling an incredible 92% from October 2007 to October 2008.  Currently, over 850 children are in hospital, 154 of them still in serious condition. The Taipei Times charged that the Chinese government “often deliberately releases information piecemeal in part to keep from feeding public anger.”   

In other words, who knows how many children are sick, or have died...

In related news, Hong Kong authorities have announced that they have found melamine in eggs from Jilin province and are currently trying to find bakeries that may have purchased and used these tainted eggs.  Out of 307 egg samples tested recently in Hong Kong, four were discovered to contain more than the legal limit of  melamine, that of 2.5 ppm.
