Melamine in the milk

Many of you probably have already heard about the milk scare in China that is rapidly spreading throughout Asia. For those of you wondering, China is a large source of milk in Mongolia. Also, Chinese milk usually tastes more like milk that American are used to drinking which means that many expatriates in Mongolia only buy milk brands from China.

For good or bad, Chinese milk is usually slightly more expensive than Mongolian or Russian milk. Since my children have grown up on Mongolian milk which is less expensive, they do not mind the taste. I do not drink milk anymore, and Kristie uses powdered milk. Our powdered milk may be from China.

I had an American friend who just bought a whole case of Chinese milk. He will not drink it since the United States Embassy in Mongolia issued a press release stating that Chinese milk should not be bought or consumed.
