After seeing the news that infants and toddlers developed kidney stones due to consuming a certain brand of milk powder, I quickly wrote an article from my professional perspective. The purpose of this article is not to accuse or comment on this incident, as there have been many similar food safety incidents. To be honest, as a professional, if I keep writing articles back and forth, it would still come down to a few reasons: problems in aspects such as enterprises, supervision, laws and regulations, national standards, etc. Therefore, I hope to let people understand the causes of such problems from my perspective, and recognize some related health knowledge. Some people criticized me in the comments for not exposing the brand of milk powder, which made me feel a bit regretful. Because I myself also saw some news, thinking that this matter was very serious, so I wrote it out of professional sensitivity, hoping to give everyone a warning and reminder. So for the brands not exposed by the news, I naturally wouldn't know. Although I later found out through verification that it was the Sanlu brand, I indeed didn't know beforehand. When I came online at night, I first paid attention to the news in this regard, and found a statement from Sanlu company. Below, I will forward this statement: Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 11 (reported by Zhou Tingyu) - On the evening of September 11, Shijiazhuang Sanlu Group Co., Ltd. issued a product recall statement, stating that after self-inspection by the company, it was found that some batches of Sanlu infant formula produced before August 6, 2008 were contaminated with melamine, about 700 tons in the market. In order to be responsible to consumers, Sanlu Group has decided to immediately recall all Sanlu infant formula produced before August 6, 2008. Experts from the Ministry of Health pointed out that melamine is a chemical raw material that can cause stone formation in the human urinary system. Recently, Gansu and other places reported multiple cases of infant urinary system stone disease. The investigation found that most of the affected children had a history of consuming Sanlu infant formula. News source: http://news.sohu.com/20080911/n259518074.shtml Sanlu found some batches of milk powder contaminated during self-inspection and announced recall However, on September 2, 2007, CCTV News Channel's "Weekly Quality Report" broadcasted a special program "Made in China" first episode "Behind the 1100 Inspection Gates". CCTV conducted a detailed investigation into the production process of Sanlu infant formula, showcasing the high-quality products and scientific, rigorous process management of the benchmark enterprise in China's infant formula industry - Sanlu Group. Wang Yuliang, vice president of Sanlu Group, said that infant formula relates to the health and growth of the next generation, and more importantly, relates to the overall quality of the Chinese nation. The quality of the product is the life of the baby, and at the same time, it is the life of the enterprise. For many years, Sanlu Group has always ensured the safety and quality of every bag of products with a high sense of responsibility and mission!
