Official number of poisoned Chinese babies soars

Chinese state media are reporting that the head of the country's quality control agency has resigned in the wake of a poisoned milk formula scandal. The news followed revelations that the number of infants sickened by tainted milk formula has risen to nearly 53,000. A Chinese health ministry statement said around 13,000 of those children had been hospitalised. So far, four babies have died from drinking milk formula that was contaminated by the toxic chemical, melamine. The chemical was allegedly added to make the milk powder seem richer in protein. The contaminant has also been found in other dairy and milk products in China, and a number of Chinese firms are now being investigated for malpractice.
