Seven held in new fake milk scandal
Seven people have been detained for producing 60 tons of fake and low-quality milk powder in China's northeastern province of Heilongjiang, months after at least 13 babies died in a similar fake milk powder scandal.
"The milk powder production line was smashed and a remaining 35.9 tons of powder were held back by the local government," Xinhua said. In August, two officials were jailed for failing to prevent a fake milk powder scandal that killed 13 babies and made another 189 ill in the eastern province of Anhui. China launched a sweeping campaign to stamp out sales of inferior milk powder. Many of the Anhui victims were infants of poor farmers in the outlying areas
around Fuyang. The infants were labelled "big head babies" because their heads
swelled as their bodies wasted away after drinking the non-nutritious fake milk
powder. |
