Dairy Industry Poisoning Check From Scratch 2008

In September 2008, the Sanlu problem milk powder incident was exposed, and its bad effects shocked the world. It not only hurt many babies who were still in their infancy, but also caused the confidence crisis of Chinese people's milk consumption, and even caused the cold spell of China's milk industry. After a hundred days, although the incident is fading away from people's memory, we can still hear the pain of those weak lives crying under the black hands of interest.

Fortunately, the Sanlu milk powder incident triggered unprecedented concern for Chinese food safety: the abolition of the national inspection free product logo with Chinese characteristics; the use of ten year old feed additive specifications; therefore, the use of 20 years of flour brightener content standard has been put on the agenda of the NPC again.

Every scar has its own pain, but the courage to remove it is the source of the vitality of healthy life.

In October 23rd, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for the third time deliberated the draft amendment to the food safety law, mainly covering 8 aspects, namely, the supervision system, the reporting system, the safety standards, the additive supervision and the recall system.

For the first time, in the early September, a news report on "infant death in Gansu suspected of being related to a milk powder" was discovered by our current affairs department.

Because the news is neither clear about the real cause of infant death, nor does it know the specific brands of milk powder, the current affairs department has decided not to report for the time being, but has always closely monitored the progress of the Xinhua News Agency's press releases and online news. The monitoring room has also been in touch with the Gansu media in a timely manner in order to obtain first-hand authoritative information.

On the morning of 11, the newspaper surveillance room monitored a manuscript from a newspaper in the south. It said that many cases of infants suffering from urinary calculi were found in Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Jiangsu.

Although the cause of the disease had yet to be investigated in detail, all these babies had a common experience - all of them had eaten Sanlu brand infant milk powder.

On the 11 day, at 10 o'clock in the morning, Lan Ling, our reporter, was contacted by the relevant person in charge of the food and Drug Administration of the province.

"Is there such a thing?

We haven't received any reports yet. "

The person in charge finally suggested that she go to the provincial health department to know the situation and call the relevant head of the Provincial Department of health.

Although Shanxi has not found any abnormalities, Sanlu milk powder sales in Shanxi are not small.

Lan Ling was keenly aware that this was a major food safety incident.

Where can we get to know the truth? If a child has a urinary stone, parents will take their children to a relative hospital first.

Along with this idea, Lanling rushed to the Provincial Maternal and child health care hospital.

"Great, finally, the media is concerned about this."

A head of hospital urology told Lan Ling.

It turned out that in June this year, the hospital had received the first case of urinary calculi. In July and August, similar children appeared one after another. By September 11th, the hospital had interviewed 9 children with urinary calculi.

Among them, the largest is 1 years and 3 months, the youngest is only 3 months old.

A seriously ill child pferred to Beijing.

The common symptoms of these children are urine, hematuria or small white granules in the urine.

These particles, with a maximum diameter of 0.6-0.8 cm, are unable to determine what substance the hospital has undergone.

This person in charge said: "children who suffered from urinary calculi in the past were relatively rare, even if they were 10 years old.

I have been in the pediatric clinic for 22 years. It is the first time that such a small child has been suffering from a disease.

Although the etiology of the children was unknown, the doctors of the Provincial Maternal and child health hospital analyzed the causes of urinary calculus related to diet and metabolism.

Moreover, 9 children are all eating Sanlu infant formula.

Later, Lan Ling pmitted his knowledge to the provincial food and Drug Administration and the provincial health department.

In the afternoon, the provincial health department began to investigate the matter.

On the evening of September 11th, Xinhua dispatched an electric draft on Sanlu milk powder. "The Ministry of health is highly suspicious that Sanlu milk powder is contaminated by melamine.

Melamine is a chemical raw material, which can cause human urinary system to produce stones.

Meanwhile, Sanlu Group issued a recall statement.

Reporter Lan Ling was pregnant for 7 months in the province. He thought about the injured baby and carefully felt the frustration and pain of the injured baby mother. Lan Ling said he felt the same way.

"Just think this is a major event of human life! No more victims!" Lan Ling rushed to the major supermarkets in the early morning of 12, and found that the location of Sanlu milk powder in the supermarket had been occupied by other brands.

Lan Ling, who has a big belly, is all pervasive, and consummate the consumption situation in one day.

On the afternoon of 12 July, at the national teleconference held by the Ministry of health, the provincial health department reported to the Ministry of health: as at 12 o'clock on 17, our province reported 14 cases of infant urinary calculi.

For the possible peak of treatment, the provincial health department requires all medical institutions to formulate contingency plans to fully screen and treat children.

This reporter Wang Fang learned this information 10 minutes later appeared at the meeting site.

"The Ministry of health has just ordered statistics in the morning, and in the afternoon, 14 children were found in our province.

My heart was thumping and I could not think of anything.

Wang Fang described this.

On the 13 day, the newspaper reported exclusively the market situation of Sanlu milk powder incident in Shanxi media and the number of cases reported by the Ministry of health in our province.

After the action of Sanlu milk powder, all parties inside and outside the province took many measures: from 14 onwards, the departments of Commerce, industry, quality supervision, health and other departments in our province rushed into the disposal of this major safety accident.

Several journalists in this newspaper have witnessed and reported this action.

Sanlu infant formula has been put off shelves at all supermarkets, and consumers can return them by ticket.

On the 16 day, AQSIQ announced the results of the special inspection of infant formula milk powder, and 22 batches of infant formula milk powder produced by domestic well-known milk powder enterprises were found to contain melamine.

On the 16 day, the "baby stone" has increased to 128 in our province.

The provincial health department held a teleconference in the province to arrange arrangements for the treatment of children, requiring the medical institutions to receive free screening, diagnosis and treatment for the children.

On the 18 day, the Ministry of Health ordered the nationwide screening of children free of charge.

Shanxi is in front of the "timely order" which is full of human nature, so that the grief and grievances of the victims can be relieved.

17 at 8 a.m., the province's industrial and commercial law enforcement officers unified action, the distribution of 22 enterprises within the jurisdiction of the production of melamine containing infant formula milk all carried out shelf storage.

At the same time, our country has made many progress in the rectification of Sanlu milk powder. As at 8 o'clock in November 27th, the whole country reported that more than 29 children had abnormal urinary system due to the consumption of Sanlu brand milk powder and other individual milk powder.

In September 22nd, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council dealt with the responsible personnel of Sanlu brand infant milk powder incident, and Li Changjiang, the former head of the AQSIQ, resigned.

Comrade Wu Xianguo, member of the Standing Committee of the Hebei provincial Party committee and Secretary of the Shijiazhuang Municipal Committee, was removed from office.

With the "Sanlu" milk powder as the head of a variety of milk powder incidents, the end of the national exemption system repeatedly questioned, like the once "excellent and excellent products".

At the same time, it also triggered a storm of accountability for a group of officials.

Similarly, food safety incidents such as citrus fruit fly discovered in parts of Sichuan in 2008 have once again demonstrated the safety and trust crisis in the food industry.

In the days to come, people hope that eating imported is no longer a "bomb" hanging in the mind.

The hospital experienced "going to the children's side!" uneasy, reporter Wang Fang came to the Provincial Maternal and child health care hospital, which is the designated hospital for children with severe stones in the province.

One day, Wang Fang wandered in the ward and found that two new twins had been treated in a ward.

Among them, a pair of male twins in the body of the larger stones, there is also hydronephrosis, every time I urinate pain straight hum.

The child's father looked red and swollen, and said, "can the children be all right? Will there be any sequelae after my two children?" Wang Fang said, and in those days, countless parents asked such questions.

She always said again and again, "yes, it will be fine! You have to trust the government and trust the hospital."

After timely treatment, by the end of September, the Provincial Maternal and child health care hospital has treated more than 60 children, and more than 10 have been discharged from rehabilitation.

No serious patient appeared, which relieved everyone.

A lot of information in the media and the attitude of the government have given parents a reassurance.

After the "eleven" long vacation, the number of children hospitalized in hospitals dropped significantly.

Afterwards, Wang Fang received many phone calls from parents of children in the field. "The children recovered very well, we went home!"
