Melamine contamination - Milk and more - Nationwide (2008)

In September, 2008 Chinese infant milk formula was contaminated with Melamine. At least 55,000 (official count) to as many as 94,000 (Reuters) children were sickened, four died, and Chinese food products were pulled worldwide. Melamine was found in candy, chocolate, soda, and even on vegetables. Bill Marler was in China as a featured speaker of the China International Conference on Food Safety and Quality when the story broke, and blogged on the unfolding crisis.
