China makes arrests in tainted-milk probe
Beijing (AP) – Chinese police arrested two brothers suspected of adding a dangerous chemical to milk they sold to a company that produced infant formula that killed two babies and sickened more than 1,200 others, state media reported Monday.
The two brothers, surnamed Geng, run a milk collection center in Hebei Province and are accused of adding melamine, a chemical used in plastics, to the milk to make it appear higher in protein, the official Xinhua News Agency said. Melamine is rich in nitrogen and standard tests for protein in food ingredients measure nitrogen levels.
Vice Health Minister Ma Xiaowei on Monday said 913 of the infants were only slightly affected and their condition was not considered life threatening. However, 340 remained hospitalized and 53 cases were considered especially severe, he said.
The company that produced the infant formula, Sanlu Group Co., is China's biggest producer of powdered milk and is 43 percent owned by a New Zealand dairy farmers' cooperative, Fonterra. The world's biggest milk trader said Sunday it had urged Sanlu to recall the product as early as six weeks ago. Sanlu did not order a recall until last Thursday.
