I'm not surprised, consumer protection and government inspection in the U.S. is falling by the wayside
as government at all levels claims this and that program is just "too expensive" to maintain, (inevitably,
programs that benefits the citizenry...) meanwhile the Global Corporate Nobility roll in money crookedly
acquired thru tax payer funded corporate welfare.

But as bad as consumer protection in the U.S. may have gotten, imagine what it's like over seas?

"Beijing (AsiaNews/Agencies) – “With such a huge territory and population in China, it's hard to avoid
all food safety threats and to put all unscrupulous businessmen under scrutiny,” said Su Zhi, a senior
official with China’s Health Ministry, after the authorities seized 76 tonnes of baby formula tainted with
melamine. Speaking at a food safety forum, he also called for greater vigilance against unsafe food
practices.

The problem was brought out into the open in September 2008 when the authorities revealed that
melamine had been added to baby formula. This chemical substance is used in making plastic and
is highly toxic for humans in whom it can cause kidney problems. Altogether, six children died and
more than 300,000 got sick from consuming the tainted powder milk.

Eventually, 22 producers were involved, including China’s largest and best known dairy company.
Chinese dairy products were eventually banned in many countries."
