三鹿事件Chinese dairy knew milk fault weeks before recall
BEIJING (AP) — A Chinese dairy that sold milk powder linked to kidney stones肾结石 in infants knew it contained a banned chemical weeks before ordering a recall, the health minister said Saturday.
They said authorities were only told of the contamination(污染 tainted powder) Monday, even though Sanlu received complaints as early as March and its tests found melamine in August.
"For a comparatively long time, the Sanlu Group failed to report this incident to the government," said Health Minister Gao Qiang. "The Sanlu Group should shoulder major responsibility for this."
"We will look into whether government at any level was negligent or whether any officials tried to withhold information," Yang said. "If we find anyone did this, they will be held accountable."
Yang
said he did not know the identities of the people detained but said
investigators were looking into whether dairy farmers added the
chemical.
"We are confident that with timely及时的 diagnosis and treatment, these infant patients will recover soon," he said.
The incident reflects China's enduring problems with product safety despite a shake-up of its regulatory system after a spate(突然而强烈的爆发) of warnings and recalls about tainted toothpaste, faulty tires and other goods.
部分关于此事件句子:"I can look myself in the mirror and say Fonterra acted absolutely responsibly in this one," Fonterra chief executive Andrew Ferrier said. Melamine is rich in nitrogen, and standard tests for protein in food ingredients measure nitrogen levels. Mr Ferrier said San Lu had rigorous testing procedures "but it's impossible to totally exclude sabotage of a product". "This is a very big issue ... and we would have been much happier if this thing had been in the public domain进入公众视线
sooner," he said. "I'm confident Fonterra wanted the product recalled
from the beginning but could not get the local authorities in China to
do that," NZ Prime Minister Helen Clark said. "Eventually, Fonterra
quite properly came to the New Zealand Government. When it came to me
and other ministers, we said to officials, 'Do not hold back a moment later一刻都不要耽搁, you must go in at the highest level you can in Beijing'."
