Milk Warning

[Brave Chengdu]

Seems a local (meishan) factroy of a popular brand of milk has some contaminant problem.

The brand is mengniu 蒙牛.

Seems the contaminant is Aflatoxin

The company’s apology

Weibo is showing posts about it at the moment.

蒙牛

I guess it’s worth avoiding.

Thanks for sharing!

Also, a factroy:

Food safety: absolutely the biggest concern living here. I got some mengniu in the fridge right now. Thanks for the warning!

Thanks for the heads up, this will probably further reduce my milk consumption. I will miss you, breakfast cereal.

In my neighborhood supermarkets Mengniu brand milk is absolutely gone from the shelves. Except for my shelves that is, where this sucker has 8 (!) cartons gathering dust..

Yeah, contamination of the food and environment is a legitimate concern. In terms of pollution it can get much, much worse than Chengdu in China though – Lanzhou, Beijing, Xian, etc.
