IF YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES DRINK MILK, ...

The current melamine-tainted China milk scandal has left many Malaysians fearful of consuming dairy products from that country. To date, more than 54,000 children in China alone have fallen ill, including four infants who have died.

There is an sms going around listing all the products that we are advised to stay away from. If you are uncertain as to the reliability of the list since no mention is made of the original source, you can check with the Ministry of Health for confirmation of dairy products that are MELANINE-FREE by visiting their website. The MOH is keeping tabs on the situation and updating the list as more information becomes available.


There are seniors among us who drink milk on a daily basis for the calcium and protein content. Many of us are also grandparents who would want to be reassured that their grandchildren are taking milk and dairy products that are safe for consumption.

LIST OF PRODUCTS NOT AFFECTED BY MELANINE CONTAMINATION (UPDATED UNTIL 24/9/2008, 12.30 PM)
