And the Melamine Just Keeps on Coming

There would seem to be no end to this problem. This one was discovered by the FDA. As a consumer, you should ask questions and check labels. Many products today contain milk and milk components, this may be whey or milk powder or other components.

Read the ingredients labels and be involved in the process. Ask your retailers to ask their suppliers to find out where ingredients and products are manufactured and what steps are being done to protect the public. Public awareness is our best defense.
