Answer 1

It is reported that Sanlu milk powder which was polluted by melamine has caused kidney stones in babies. And the melamine found in some of the Sanlu products was deliberately added to increase the protein percentage in raw milk or milk power.

       Food safety has always been an important thing to be aware of. Although laws have been passed and we have the quality watchdogs, to gain the biggest profit, some people still take the risk of breaking the law, which finally cause incidents now and then.

       To prevent such things happening again, the criminals and all those responsible should be severely punished and relevant local government and departments should draw lessons from the incident and improve the food safety and quality supervision mechanism to ensure the food safety of the public. Besides, consumes themselves had better try to use organic food instead of artificial food.
