China's tainted formula shows risks of dairy boom (AP)
Friday, 09.19.2008, 07:26am (GMT)

In this May 24, 2005 file photo, a cow which is said to be in good health according to its owner, right,  rests inside one of the towns where many roadblocks have been set to stop outsiders from entering the villages northwest of the Chinese capital in Shanjiaying, after the authorities barred access on May 24 to villages outside Beijing where they reportedly have slaughtered thousands of cows to stop an outbreak of foot and mouth disease.     Filthy farms, ill-fed dairy cows and little enforcement of safety standards—those realities of China's fast-growing dairy industry underpin the country's latest major food scandal. Authorities have ordered testing of all dairy products and vowed to upgrade quality standards after four Chinese babies died and more than 6,200 fell ill from drinking formula containing the industrial chemical melamine.   (AP Photo/Elizabeth Dalziel, File)AP - A generation ago, when today's new Chinese parents were infants, milk powder was so scarce that it was one of the top items requested from travelers visiting from overseas.
