Philippines Bans Milk Products from China
The Philippine Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) has banned milk and products containing milk from China after the reports of melamine contamination that has sickened thousands of Chinese children. The ban has been imposed indefinitely until such time that the products are deemed safe for human consumption.
Melamine is an industrial-grade non-food additive that is used mainly in plastics. It has been found to have caused kidney problems in the sick children.
