1. You might add that the contamination

is so small it's been determined it's probably from the lining of the powdered formula can, not intentional adulteration.

However, unless the FDA is rid of all the corporate hacks and bible school fools and turned back into an agency to protect the people from rich and powerful crooks, it will happen for real next time.

2. like how small is small

do you know babies that are preemies in the NICU are fed this and one wonders how small efects them with the small body weight

I opt for NO MELAMINE

RECALL IT
they did for our pets they can do it for our children's safety

Hey wheres your source that would help

[gravity]

3. Because there were large amounts in petfood

and insignificant quantities found in baby formula.

5. The last paragraph

gives what they found and the FDA standard.

6. Thanks Interesting

from your article in the NY TIMES
Ms. Leon said the contamination was most likely the result of food contact with something like a can liner, or from some other manufacturing problems, but not from deliberate adulteration.

She declined to name the company that made the tainted infant formula.


Notice the word Most Likely or other manufacturing problems...she isn't sure and we are not given the amount of how small because it is recorded by Consumer groups that there is different amounts in different formulas

But do you really trust a person who declines to name the company that made the tainted formula...she is hiding it

and not thinking of our children
John hopkins has noticed an increase in kidney stones in children

4. you are doing as you should - keep it up - the word must get out always

some want to suppress it because they don't want something else to worry about - fact is - people have DIED from this chemical, 50000 babies and possibly millions have been effected by it, and thousands of pets died in the US from it - it's not something to just say, "ah... experts say it's ok, it's only a little bit"... talk about head in the sand.

7. what is the cumulative effect over time.

how about a little bit every 2-4 hours. any is too much for my kid. can we get these bastards out and put someone in who will do their job.

8. thats a brilliant point formula is all a baby drinks

that its hydration and food source and they it at least up to 45 cc q 2-3 hours

and their kidneys are just starting out too

this is crazy they didn't do anything about this

[psychmommy]

9. i am sick over this.

[lovuian]

10. FDA said awhile back the Melamine was put in our food supply

deliberatly...this is Biochemical terrorism at its worse

and yet they do nothing

because the Corporations don't want us to know
