Melamine found in South Africa's food but they wont tell you what food it is

Friday, October 24, 2008 - 16:39

The SABC tested some foods and found that one of them contained the chemical Melamine which has been causing chaos across China, now they wont say who it is until they have spoken to the company involved.

How messed up is that, your child or your family could be taking in Melamine without knowing because they dont want to tell us.

according to Fin24:

Tests were conducted in a Cape Town laboratory on various sweets, chocolates and cereal.

Earlier this year, the presence of melamine in Chinese-manufactured dairy products was blamed for a number of infant deaths and illness.

Melamine is not a food chemical but a industrial chemical used to make glues and other toxic things and these people added it to food (in China) to boost the protein content, so next time you read Protein on the pack remember this post.

That is BS, because they have no way of knowing who they are putting at risk while they twiddle their thumbs trying to work out what to say to the company. People deserve the right to know what they are being exposed to.

Thanks for the comment. I

I think we need Erin Bronkewich here. I am a 69 year old South African, who was reared on GOOD, PURE, & Natural organic foods, & have enjoyed excellent health. My children were reared the same way, but now I have grand children who are being given food that God knows where it comes from. Very sickening and sad. Something must be done !!!!!!!
