MANILA -- The Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) released Friday a partial list of milk products being sold in the local market that will be subjected to tests for melamine.
Melamine, an industrial chemical used in the manufacture of plastics, was reportedly used by milk manufacturer Sanlu Group. It reportedly gives milk a higher protein count in tests, but while ingesting minute amounts of it is not considered dangerous, the chemical can cause kidney stones and lead to kidney failure.
