Fonterra Baby Milk Powder Scandal in China! Fonterra Dairy Involvement with the Chinese's Killer of Babies Milk Powder Scandal is a sad week for us living in New Zealand, we are proud New Zealand Farmers, that put so much into making and doing everything in our power the right way, having good farming practices for quality milk, for all human and animal consumption, also to keep the Clean Green Image in our country which we are proud of. Fonterra owns 43% of Sanlu and has three directors on it's board, they knew of the contamination, for the past six weeks before a public recall,( which us) the New Zealand farmers knew nothing about, until the New Zealand Government released it. " Fonterra has been a victim of a criminal contaminant" and we the New Zealand farmer are not happy to have anyone suffering, less of all innocent children and babies. Chinese state-run media announced late yesterday 17 September 2008 , that 21 more companies were found producing milk powder tainted with melamine. New Zealand Prime Minster Helen Clark alerted the Chinese Government as soon as it became aware of the contamination, which she said "had been covered up by local authorities" we could not have it on our conscience that this was not being brought to the attention of the Chinese authorities in order for them to do something about it. Under the Chinese law, victims of unsafe products are allowed to sue the manufacture or retailer for compensation. Andrew Ferrier, Fonterra Chief Executive, is a proud man, and we the farmers like him, (he has been a great asset to us), say's this, " It is a ethical issue of doing the right thing", let's all pray that those children get better and there are no more deaths. Listening to the radio in New Zealand this morning, I feel very sad as Fonterra is taking the flack for this, even though it is not all fonterra blame, but it will hit back to us the New Zealander. The tainted milk powder with melamine a substance causing all those babies to be sick ,and three death already, this is terrible. I myself a mother, grandmother and great grand mother feel very sad for those babies. "Poor little souls". That is not what our farmers would ever want milk products to kill anyone, we the dairy farming community are very upset about this scandal and feel for all those chinese family with children suffering, if only we could turn back time. "God Bless you all" and hope this will be a lesson to everyone, if thinking of cheating the system of anything, think of the innocent, young and vulnerable, it is not worth it.
