A CANCER-CAUSING protein has been found in milk produced in an eastern China city.
Three people from the dairy producer, including its legal representative, have been detained.
Authorities tested 14 batches of milk products from Morning Garden Dairy Co Ltd in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, and found 11 of them were contaminated with protein hydrolyzed from leather waste, a substance which could have been used to increase the apparent protein content in milk products, Shanghai Evening Post reported yesterday.
The case, which follows the fatal Sanlu milk powder scandal, has been referred to police, according to local authorities.
Mao Jianhua, the dairy company's legal representative, and two others have been detained for criminal investigation.
The food inspection department of China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine received a report in February that Morning Garden had added the protein, which the administration said was known to cause cancer, to its milk products.
Illegal additive
The company, which has more than 100 employees, was capable of producing 70 tons of products daily, the newspaper said.
Officials from Zhejiang Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision and its Jinhua branch visited the company on March 5, the report said.
The bureau sent product samples to the provincial capital Hangzhou for further testing on March 18 and later found five batches of products contained the illegal additive.
The bureau then tested samples from another six batches of the company's dairy drinks sold at three neighboring cities on April 2 and detected the illegal additive in all of them.
Police in Jinhua detained the three Garden Dairy officials the same day.
Just a few days earlier, on March 26, a court in north China's Hebei Province upheld the sentences on six people for their involvement in the melamine scandal that killed at least six infants and sickened nearly 300,000 children last year.
Among those whose appeals were rejected was Tian Wenhua, who had been given a life sentence. The 66-year-old was general manager and chairwoman of the now-defunct Sanlu Group Co.
a curdling development..
I suspect those 3 detained have series concern for life.. theirs.
Ping
Lord! Anybody who would do that deserves the bullet in head they will probably get.
This isn’t “tainted”, that would indicate environmental contamination. This is deliberate doping.
Hope they have good organs, cause someone will be getting theirs.
How is it these chinese often find the worst things to increase the value of their worthless products?

They lay awake at night thinking of these things.
Cheers!
Why would you send me information about this? Unless positive news about China makes you question your own sense of superiority.
Cheers!
He is indeed. Hey Chicom troll! Drop dead!
I'm not a troll. It is clear to me, that something I've posted has set you off. But it shouldn't since I don't post to incite or inflame others. It is merely my perspective, nothing more, nothing less. If I am telling a lie or stating something that isn't based on fact, please tell me. I have no agenda but merely expressing a perspective on how I see things. And I have nothing to gain by telling something that isn't truthful.
As a former Scandanavian coworker used to always say "There are just some things that you just don't do!!". Whether he always lived up to it, I don't know. But that seems to be a common cultural comment on his part.
Keep working on your English, by the way.
Cheers!
...say hello to the organ donors in Falun Gong for me.
A troll by definition, is someone with the goal of provoking other posters. That has never been my intention and I believe you know that.
But rather, it is the perspective of many on here, in the present and past (more so in the past) that sees my views or perspective as provoking. I remember, one time, when I had said China would have the largest economy someday (or maybe it was auto, etc., something along those lines). A poster reprimanded me, telling me that I make provoking comments like that. Ya see, it is this extreme perspective of those with a Hawkish view of China that finds benign or pragmatic views of China provoking when it shouldn't be taken that way.
So, I'm not a troll.
Keep working on your English, by the way.
Of course.
...say hello to the organ donors in Falun Gong for me.
Whatever the history of it, should be stopped. But honestly, to many Hawkish about China, the concern isn't about organ harvest from Falun Gong members. It's not a pragmatic or ethical practice. But rather, it is merely used as an argument to prevent those in China that sees the world pragmatically from moving onward. Really, I believe that. You could bring up alot of negative things about China, and many would probably true, even if some of it is embellished.
Ironically, it is this pragmatic China that many China Hawks find so offensive. A pragmatic China that figures out how to mass produce autos, sends satellites up into space, build gigantic hydro progjects, builds airports, builds cities with skyscrapers as far as the eye can see, etc. It is this pragmatic China, that still have vestiges of the old China within. Yet, ironically, for all the bringing up of the old China and the things that they've done (like organ harvesting), people like you really don't care about stuff like that.
Your main concern, is to severly restrict the more pragmatic China from moving forward. To prevent its scientist from sending a man onto the moon, to prevent them from building high speed computers, etc. And this hawkish perspective is not able to entirely demonize everything China does, so other areas are brought up, like organ harvest. And yet, look at how big China is, 4x the size of the US in population and 3 times of W. Europe. In a country that big, you're bound to find some dirt. Yet, you want to reduce the entire country down to some renegade acts, because you secretly don't want to allow China to be on the world stage, even if you could see that it would benefit the world.
Many American and European leaders have assured China that they aren't trying to contain China. And those leaders are correct, but the US media is influence by all Westerners, including people like you. So, while many in the West aren't trying to contain China, many like you wish that the West did. And it is reflected in what China's sees.
The pull of your Euro-centric world is quite a powerful influnce, I understand. I suppose if I was in your shoes, I would feel the same way. But China becoming part of the industrialized world, on a scale of 1.3 billion people is not an evil thing.
But I agree with my former Scandanavian coworker, "There are some things you just don't do". There is a social benefit that can transform a country. Unfortunately, he and many like him, aren't happy about how it benefits China.
Bottoms up!!
