MELAMINE CONTAMINATED PRODUCTS



Last week, I went home and noticed a red mark on my daughter's neck and applied rubbing alcohol to cleanse the area and after a few hours the redness were scattered and visible around her body and she told me that it was itchy.
I asked a friend about the first aid for it and she told me wash with vinegar, aplly cold compress but still it didn't improve.
My daughter's face and body was covered with hives and we decided to bring her to the hospital and she got an anti- allergy shot.
The doctor said - NO to chicken, egg, noodles, juice, chocolates (bar , candies, drinks) seafoods, soy sauce, fish sauce and any other kinds of seasoning.
Since we still can not trace the real cause or the food that triggered the allergic reaction I was scared of buying ANY kind of products/ goods from China
As the melamine in milk products from China problem continues to grow apace, Sciencebase presents a succinct list of melamine contaminated food list culled from the most recent news results on the subject. This is by no means an exhaustive list nor is it a condemnation of any particular products, it’s here merely to raise awareness of what is happening with regard to the melamine in milk scandal.

Just for the record, this is not, as was suggested on a couple of blogs linking here, a definitive, complete list. I will TRY AND DO MY BEST to update it as and when new information comes to light.
