Asian supermarkets in Canada are busy pulling Nissin Cha Cha Dessert from their shelves as it was found to contain melamine. This is probably going to be the first of a few recalls associated with yet another melamine scare that has originated in China, and the number of infants affected in the tainted milk-product scandal is sure to rise.
As a parent who had to feed his son formula, this story is pretty heart wrenching. It’s bad enough that a product may harm a loved one, but it’s especially tragic when it’s a baby that can’t speak or tell its parent what is wrong.
With another child on the way in February 2009, it is disturbing to think there is always a possibility that formula we may have to use could contain tainted products. It’s getting a little crazy when you can’t trust companies to manufacture toys, bottles and food that is safe.
