China's Sour Milk

From Hollister:

Fifty-three thousand children have become ill and four babies have been killed due to the China milk scandal. Because of the dangers, several companies are recalling their products they received from China.

Heinz is one of these companies, as a spokes person for the company announced, "In order to reassure consumers about the safety of Heinz products, Heinz has made the strategic decision to switch our milk supply in China and Hong Kong to non-Chinese sources and we are testing all dairy ingredients for melamine prior to use in our factories."
Another company that is recalling its products is the British chocolatier Cadbury, after the presence of melamime in the chocolates was confirmed.
A third company that is recalling its products from China due to melamime is the Global consumer goods group Unilever Plc/NV, which recalled four batches of its Lipton brand milk tea.

Chinese President Hu vows that something is being done to secure the quality of the food industry within China.
