The contaminated milk recall in China and internationally continues. In China, it is an overall recall:
“BEIJING – China is ordering all liquid and powdered milk manufactured before Sept 14 to be taken off the shelves for melamine testing, the first time it has issued a blanket recall of products since the tainted dairy scandal broke last month.”

Some will take issue with the report that the milk scandal surfaced in September 2008. The first warnings of contaminated milk appeared in December 2007. In a society where the news is controlled, the suppression of this danger was considered patriotic, as well as ‘saving face’. The result was that thousands of children were ill. Some died. And now, there is a public image to control and manage.
