I bought 20+ cans Aptamil online from an international student at a nearly double higher price than it is in Germany supermarket last year,although my wife gave sufficient breast milk to my son.Yes I am a nervous parent too.There were so many babies poisoned by milk powder in China.No one really trust manufacturers and Gov of China,even those officials themselves. You know,there is only one market on this little planet.Those manufacturers produce best products survive and get stronger. They can buy Gov and the Gov can deceive or even threaten people,but what if everyone buy nothing from them?


The situation where shelves are cleared and shipped to China happens here in New Zealand. What's interesting about it is that the scandal of contaminated milk started with a subsidiary of Fonterta, called Sanlu. Fonterra blew the whistle on their crappy practices. So people get product from New Zealand, to avoid buying from part of the same company. Our favourite source. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonterra


On the other hand, probably the one safest food in China right now is probably milk powder. People have been jailed and executed over it, and officials at all levels have no interest in loosing face again.


No. The milk industry is still a mess, only some scapegoats got executed. Officials don't care about face.

But at least we've moved on from bad milk to bad bottled water.
