If you’ve been up to date to the news today, you would know that many milk products from China have been banned in different countries due to the presence of Melamine, an item being used for making plastics. Here in the Philippines, many companies have been affected as well. Imagine cereal without milk, cakes and pastries using milk, ice cream using processed milk, cheese, and many others. Basically it’s not only milk that’s affected but everything else that uses milk products.
It’s a good thing that the Department of Health, with the Bureau of Food and Drugs released the results of their testing. Of 30 milk tested, 2 failed their tests and tested positive for melamine. These are the Greenfood Yili Fresh Milk and Mengniu Drink.
Here’s the partial list of milk products tested safe from melamine. According to BFAD, they will still test 200 more.
* Anchor Lite Milk
* Anlene High Calcium Low Fat Milk U.H.T.
* Bear Brand Instant
* Chichok Milk Chocolate
* Farmland Skim Milk
* Jinwei Drink
* Jolly Cow Pure Fresh Milk
* Kiddie Soya Milk Egg Delight
* Lactogen 1 DHA Infant Formula
* M&M’s Milk Chocolate Candies
* M&M’s Peanut Chocolate Candies
* Milk Boy
* Nestogen 2 DHA Follow-up Formula
* Nestogen 3 DHA Follow-up Formula
* Nido 3+ Prebio with DHA

* Nido Junior
* No-Sugar Chocolate of Isomaltooligosaccharide (Cocoa Butter Substitute)
* Nutri-Express Milk Drink
* PURA UHT Fresh Milk

* Vitasoy Soya Bean Milk
* Wahaha Orange

* Want-Want Milk Drink (Red Can)
* Windmill Skim Milk Powder
* Yinlu Milk Peanut
* Yogee Yoghurt Flavor Milk Drink
I hope to get the complete list soon. I’ll edit this post as soon as BFAD releases it. I am also abstaining from drinking milk. This is how earning online can be affected by real life events.
