Continue with Milk scandal

Continue with Milk scandal

Starbucks China stops working with Mengnuie (poison milk company).

Is now better to stop drinking any milk now, unless it’s from some foreign brand.

STARBUCKS on Thursday said its 300-plus cafes in mainland China have pulled out milk supplies by Mengniu Dairy, one of the companies whose product has tested positive for melamine contamination.

Starbucks said that no employees or customers were sickened by the milk.

In a statement, Starbucks said it removed the milk from supplies voluntarily after it learned that Mengniu had confirmed that certain lots of its liquid milk were tainted.

Though we believe based on assurances from the supplier that the milk we received from Mengniu is not included in the contaminated lot, due to the serious nature of this warning, Starbucks has voluntarily pulled all Mengniu milk offerings until further notice,' Starbucks said.

Starbucks said it continues to work closely with Mengniu to further confirm that the milk it supplied to the company was not affected.

The company said it is working to find alternate milk suppliers until the issue is resolved.

On the other hand, Hong Kong have found out a lot of products are make by poison milk, Hong Kong government have said it will have to becarful for every milk product you eat.

I am from Hong Kong aswell, my relatives keep calling me from Hong Kong telling how bad the situation right now is and they asked me so many time to check the milk company before I eat any chocolate or stuff.

This has been a very bad tragedy for both Hong Kong and China, I wonder when will it stop this milk tragedy.
