China may have covered up contaminated infant formula
Speculation abounds that Chinese officials may have purposely waited 6 weeks before initiating a recall of bad infant formula so to not cast a bad light on the Olympics.
Supplies from China’s leading manufacturer of baby milk, Sanlu, were tainted by the addition of melamine, the company confirmed last week.
The chemical boosts protein readings but causes kidney stones and is being blamed for illness in at least 1,253 infants, according to the latest figures.
Fonterra, a New Zealand company which has a 43 per cent stake in Sanlu and three directors on its board, knew about the problem on Aug 2, it said.
