China will set up a multi-level treatment system for tainted milk-affected infant patients, with all the grass-root medical agencies well prepared for the "possibly rising cases," the Ministry of Health said on Tuesday.

…and the world is suffering at the hands of this evil.
So much illness has been caused.
Death has been caused.
It's horrific enough that humans have suffered.
It's horrible enough that parents worry what to feed their babies.
Back in 2007 this evil began the experiment on pets.
That’s how evil killers often begin..with animals.
Maybe because they are animals themselves.
This animal may be a chemist. This animal is using melamine and was putting it first in pet food back in 2007.
Now it is being found in baby food and other dairy products such as yogurt in China.
The pet food that sickened and killed pets in 2007 in the United States originated in China. The hundreds of babies suffering now are also in China.
At first China was apologizing, taking blame…and then the melamine was found. You can’t take blame for an evil killer. This thing is huge...you'll read below that it has infiltrated 22 milk companies in China..22! So where does it begin?
"China Milk Scandal Widens as Melamine Found in Yogurt"
"China's tainted milk scandal widened as melamine was found in products of a second dairy company, after infant formula contaminated by the chemical was linked to 1,253 cases of infant kidney stones, killing two. Wellcome, a supermarket chain owned by Dairy Farm International Holdings Ltd., said it will stop selling ice cream made by Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group after the chemical was found in a sample, according to a statement sent by e-mail late today. The discovery in Hong Kong of the industrial chemical in a second company's products boosts concerns that contamination may be widespread after the Ministry of Health said melamine-tainted milk made by Sanlu Group Co. sickened children. Milk powder produced by 22 Chinese dairy producers, including Sanlu and Yili, were found to have melamine, China Central Television reported late today. "

"Hebei Province, the center of the contaminated baby formula scandal, on Wednesday said it hard received reports of 638 sick infants in one day.
Gao Chunqiu, deputy chief of the provincial health department, told a press conference that 12,510 people consulted medical facilities in the province between midday on Monday and midday on Tuesday, and 638 babies were diagnosed with urinary calculus (stones)."

"China seizes 22 companies with contaminated baby milk powder "
"Chinese inspectors have found the chemical melamine in 69 batches of baby milk powder produced by 22 companies nationwide, the country's quality watchdog said late on Tuesday.
The authorities ordered a halt to the sale of the tainted products which included such well-known brands as Sanlu, Mengniu, Yili and Yashili, among others.
The State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) said test samples came from 491 batches of products sold by all the 109 companies that produced the baby milk powder in the country."

From 2007:
"Melamine in pet food may not be accidental"
"A nitrogen-rich chemical used to make plastic and sometimes as a fertilizer may have been deliberately added to an ingredient in pet food that has sickened and killed cats and dogs across the country, public and private officials say. A leading theory is that it was added to fake higher protein levels.
Melamine has been found in wheat gluten, rice protein concentrate and, in South Africa, corn gluten, all imported from China, and all meant for use in pet food, the Food and Drug Administration confirmed Thursday.
"It adds to the theory when you see other products that are labeled as protein supplements, in this case rice protein, and in South Africa corn gluten and in the previous case wheat gluten," said Stephen Sundlof, FDA chief veterinarian. "That melamine was found in all three of those, it would certainly lend credibility to the theory that this was intentional."
How the melamine got there is "not something we're going to be able to determine until we actually investigate the plants in China," he said."
"ChemNutra, which imported the wheat gluten linked to last month's massive pet-food recall, says it is concerned its Chinese supplier spiked the product.In a letter on ChemNutra's website, Chief Executive Steve Miller said, "We are concerned that we may have been the victim of deliberate and mercenary contamination for the purpose of making the wheat gluten we purchased appear to have a higher protein content than it did." Melamine is "simply not a chemical even on the radar screen for food ingredient suppliers," he wrote. "

Now...where will it end?
