Healthy Advisory on Infant Formula
The US Food and Drug Administration has released a healthy advisory on Infant Formula.
Formula coming from China has been shown to contain melamine. Chinese infants have been
suffering from kidney disease which has stemmed from the Melamine artificially
increasing the protein profile of milk. The Chinese Government admitted that three
infants have died and more then 6000 were sick. The FDA has contacted the following
companies and they say they have not imported product or sourced materials from China:
Abbott Nutritionals, Mead Johnson Nutritionals, Nestle USA, PBM Nutritionals, and
Solus Products LLC. Also, one manufacturer, SHS/ Nutricia, Liverpool, England, markets
an amino acid based exempt infant formula that does not contain any milk-derived
ingredients (FDA reports) Now how does that affect Canadians… so far, reports are
saying we don’t have any issues with tainted formula in Canada. The only report of a
possible problem is a yoghurt drink (Mengniu and Yili) from T&T Market that has been
pulled from the shelves.
HOW DO WE RESPOND:
What next? Yet another product that has come from China with dangerous chemicals. This
one in our baby formulas… first our toys and now formula. So far there is no reports
of issues with any formula in Canada… read more in “NEWS” section of Baby Purity.
Although it is awful, words cannot describe how terrible that babies have died in China
from this formula. I can’t help but sense that these issues are wake up calls for us,
are we listening yet. Bisphenol-A in our babies bottles, lead in their toys and now
melamine in their formula. Perhaps we haven’t been concerned about the chemicals in our
environment that affect our bodies, perhaps we didn’t even know there was issues with
some of our cleaning products or moisturizers. Will we demand change now that these
chemicals are affecting our babies? Is this a wake-up call for change?
