We’re beginning to see some closure to the dreadful melamine tainted milk scandal. San Lu bosses, middlemen and suppliers were dealt severe penalties. Tian Wenhua, the former general manager and chairwoman of Sanlu Group Co. has been sentenced to death. Zhang Yujun and Geng Jinping, two middlemen who supplied tainted milk to Sanlu Group too were sentenced to death. Despite the harsh penalties, many felt China courts has only punished a select few among the many more involved in melamine tainted milk scandal. And it would take ages for China to regain consumers confidence in food safety.

Of course, when I first heard the news, I checked with Enfagrow to ensure their milk supply are clean. Luckily Enfagrow was fine. But what I didn’t expect was days later, news spread to local biscuit products contain traces of melamine, I was shocked to find Julie crackers on the list of product recall. I bought a few packs of its crackers a few days before reading the news. Clarisse loves them crackers so I was all the more concerned. I called their toll free number and I was advised to return the products to the local supermarket where I bought them. I returned them within the next couple of hours.
