Sanlu Background

Background

Sanlu Group CO., Ltd. (SJZSGCZ) was a state-owned Chinese dairy products company based in Xinhua District, Shijiazhuang, the capital city of Hebei Province. It produced one of the oldest and most popular brands of infant formula in China. New Zealand's Fonterra owned 43% of Sanlu.

In September 2008, their baby milk powder has been found out that it contained melamine. Melamine can cause kidney stones and other complications. This news shocked the world. This made people to concern the food safety problem again.
