Remember the POISON chinese pet food? the TOXIC chinese toys? how about those recent infant deaths due to POISON chinese baby formula?the chemical POISON in all these instances?
==> MELAMINE.
Melamine is a metabolite of cyromazine, a PESTICIDE. It is formed in the body of mammals who have ingested cyromazine. It was also reported that cyromazine is converted to melamine in plants.
Today most industrial manufacturers use ammonia and UREA (yes, both are found in URINE!) in the following reaction to produce melamine:
(for u science geeks)
6 (NH2)2CO ' C3H6N6 + 6 NH3 + 3 CO2It can be understood as two steps. First, UREA decomposes into cyanic acid in an endothermic reaction (NH2)2CO ' HCNO + NH3. Then cyanic acid polymerizes to form melamine and carbon dioxide: 6 HCNO ' C3H6N6 + 3 CO2. The second reaction is exothermic and the overall process is endothermic.
Ingestion of melamine may lead to reproductive damage, or bladder or kidney stones, which can lead to bladder cancer.On 30 March 2007, the US Food and Drug Administration reported finding white granular melamine in the pet food, in samples of white granular wheat gluten imported from a single source in China, Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology as well as in crystalline form in the kidneys and in urine of affected animals. Further vegetable protein imported from China was later implicated. See Chinese protein export contamination.
The practice of adding "melamine scrap" to animal feed is reported to be widespread in China in order to give the appearance of increased protein content in animal feed.
Melamine production in China is reported to be in "serious surplus".
IN CONCLUSION: Because melamine resin is often used in food packaging and TABLEWARE, melamine at ppm level (1 part per million) in food and beverage has been reported due to MIGRATION from melamine-containing resins.[62] Small amounts of melamine have also been reported in foodstuff as a metabolite product of cyromazine, an insecticide used on animals and crops.[63] Romer Labs now offers a rapid Melamine test kit (AgraQuant Melamine ELISA test kit).
My ADVICE TO SELLER, drop melamine products! (and good conscience would dictate you campaign for public awareness of melamine toxicity, as well as commercial regulations to prevent it's further use...) You do score some points, however, for truth in advertising. ;-) Thanks for that. Perhaps, you should buy stock in Romer Labs, which makes the melamine test kits.
;-)
Peace to ALL.
