Melamine is a nitrogen-based compound used in commercial and industrial plastics, such as eating utensils and laminates, whiteboard wall paneling, flooring and Formica countertops.. During a press conference held during last year's pet food scandal, FDA official Stephen Sundlof said it was possible that the tainted grub was deliberately spiked with melamine to make it appear to have higher protein levels. www.scientificamerican.com/blog/post.cfm?id=why-is-melamine-in-baby-formula-you-2008-09-24Codex sets limits for melamine in food to combat adulturation 07-Jul-2010.

Poison Sold As Protein Powder and Introduced to Many Human Foods Oct 30, 2008 How Much Melamine Has Been Added to American Foods?One must assume that any commercial animal feed or protein additives such as rice or wheat gluten that was exported from China is similarly contaminated. That means that fish, poultry and dairy farms in the USA and elsewhere may have inadvertently contaminated the human food chain in this country with melamine. We don’t know how wide-spread the problem is in the USA, but we do have the admission from the FDA that melamine contaminated rice gluten did in fact make it into the human food chain in their update dated April of 2007. Premeditated Poisoning on a Massive ScaleThe problem is caused, in part, by the basic consumer desire for ever cheaper goods. Melamine “protein powder” costs less than actual protein powder, companies in China or the USA that purchased this fake protein could lower their prices or increase their profits. www.digitaljournal.com/article/261769
