China Cracking Down on Melamine Eggs
China says it’s cracking down on feed manufacturers after finding melamine tainted eggs. This melamine hunt came about after finding melamine in pet food and animal feed.
China says they have closed 238 animal feed companies and have destoyed over 3600 tons of tainted feed. Those that are discovered dealing in melamine tainted feed will lose their business licenses and face criminal charges and prosecution.
It makes you wonder how widespread this melamine contamination goes. It’s already killed several infants and sickened tens of thousands of others. Now we find that it’s been used in animal feed, and who knows what else.
Even if the people who did this were not aware of the terrible health problems melamine poses, they certainly did know that they were diluting the original product and at the very least cutting the quality. With it in the feed will it be in the meat that people will eat? I’m sure we’ll have an answer to that very soon.
