The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued a press release this week confirming that:-
“there is currently no evidence that any of the affected milk, milk powder or powdered infant formula has been imported into the UK”
The current situation in China regarding the melamine-contamination event has already led to three confirmed deaths, 40,000 children have sought medical treatment related to the consumption of melamine-contaminated powdered infant formula and almost 12,900 are currently hospitalised.
The World Health Organization has a comprehensive resource providing updates and a Q&A on the melamine-contamination event in China, and it is available here.
The Intute: Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health service has a small collection of Web resources on infant formula and a much larger collection of Web resources on breast feeding.
