China starts to clean up the melamine mess--for real
.jpg)
At least, that's what the Chinese government is saying. Last year when scores of animals fell sick and died as a result of melamine-tainted pet food the government said the same thing. Earlier this year authorities discovered manufacturers were still tainting pet food. But the dairy scare this year seems to have fostered a desire to increase government oversight.So, what makes anyone listen this time? Well, there will be some international observation. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently opened a bureau in Beijing. China has set a goal of overhauling its dairy production and packaging industry by 2011. New regulations are already being issued by China' Cabinet.
For now, many markets are looking elsewhere for their dairy products.
