Tainted Milk Formula

Several babies have died and at least thousand of children have fallen ill after drinking tainted milk formula from China. Recent days, people are living in the panic when we are eating anything related to milk powder with the source materials from China. The reason is that contain the melamine which do harm our health, but the official government do not solve and put emphasis on this problem immediately.

Furthermore, the official even can’t make clear how much ppm can be added in the food and dairy products. Some of really famous and trustful food product companies also use the tainted milk formula from china and it has been used for years. I dare to say most of us had already eaten tainted and chemical harmful food inside our body. If today this event were not erupted, we would eat more tainted products in our stomach. Nowadays, more and more materials and manufacture foods are made from china, and we can’t even avoid eating it or buying it. Because of lots of businessmen are trying to hide the truth where the material really came from and by this way they can gain more illegal money from customers. Obviously, not only does our government has to take responsibility to this event but China’s related organizations have to be strictly to control the food quality. However, the event had already happened so the following steps we should do more carefully. For example, we should check the expiration date when we bought the foods, where the materials came from and what the ingredients were contained in it. I think it is only the way that customers can do and protect themselves.

In a word, I learn a lot from this time, because I always think the food we can buy or displayed in the shop are always safe and they are through food inspected. But the truth is not exactly what I am supposed to know. After this issue, sooner or later the customers will be more clever and carefully when they buy the product. Last but not least, our government should really wonder and introspect why they always could not solve the problem initiatively and take it responsibility. The simple thing we need and require is eating safely.
