Melamine-tainted milk products have resurfaced again in China. High levels of the industrial chemical, exceeding by more than 500 times the maximum allowed content, were recently found in the products of four Chinese food companies in the northwestern Zinhai and Gansu provinces and northeastern Tieling province.

The director and chief engineer of the milk processing enterprise are under arrest. 

This is already the third “melamine” scandal to hit the country since 2008 when six babies died and about 300,000 others became sick after drinking melamine-tainted milk.

Two top managers of the  Sanglu company were sentenced to death.

One year later, melamine-tainted milk was found in Guizhou province in southern China.
