news story

April 19, 2007 — For the first time, investigators are saying the chemical that has sickened and killed pets in the United States may have been intentionally added to pet food ingredients by Chinese producers.

Food and Drug Administration investigators say the Chinese companies may have spiked products with the chemical melamine so that they would appear, in tests, to have more value as protein products.

Even though I'm Chinese myself, I have to admit I'm really mad about the food made in China. Every cooking product I use I'm suspicious of any chemicals they might have put in it Angry .

Off topic but this makes it a possibility that the Chinese also did the anthrax scare too?
