Does anyone know if milk from Kowloon Dairy is ok? Can't find information anywhere but I saw in today's paper it uses ingredients from China.

Hi..
Kowloon Dairy imported their milk from Guangdong, China and do the packaging in Tuen Mun. I think you should wait until the government do the testing on their product before starting to consume their milk. It's safer that way.

Hoax Email on Contaminated Milk
Hi, Everyone,
Just received two separate emails with a huge list of melamine tainted recalled products with some names like Dutch Lady, Dove Dreyers, M&M, Snickers, etc. The emails do not mention the source of this list and some of the items are inconsistent with the CFD's list. I just want to check if anyone knows if this list is true and where it comes from. If it is unsubstantiated, I would really like to advise people not to send it along. We should certainly be wary, but not be party to spreading a spirit of fear and panic.

I received the same message only via sms. I haven't been able to corroborate the message but do think it is better to err on the side of caution. It is very possible that these products are tainted. In fact, I do wonder what other rubbish is going into all food out of China now that it is common knowledge that putting melamine into baby formula was done very deliberately to mask inferior protein levels and to bolster profits at the expense of the health and indeed lives of babies. If babies are fair game I'm sure adult food suffers much the same treatment.

Yes, but why spread news when it might not be true? If we want to warn people, refer them to the correct sources. But wanted to check as well if anyone has a list of the products that were tested and recalled in China for melamine? I found a link to what I guess is the Chinese Government version of CFS but it was all in Chinese, which I was unable to read.
