Mengniu, Yili, and Guangming products were, after investigation, found to have melamine, the chemical in the milk powder responsible for making over 1000 children sick. These companies — the big three — cover the large part of the market, which means there is a good chance that the dairy products you are using comes from one of them, which means that there is a chance that you are quaffing some melamine too. The Telegraph reports that KFC and Starbucks are among the companies that use products from these brands. Which makes me wonder why I had one of those ice coffee things with whip cream from KFC last night. Thankfully, I am in the habit of drinking Starbucks coffee without any milk or cream.
