Melamine and New Zealand
Don’t look now but according to The New Zealand Herald, “one of the world’s biggest exporters of hugely expensive dairy protein lactoferrin has suspended exports in order to clarify how it was contaminated by melamine.”

In recent Philippine news, the Department of Health (DOH) mentioned something about focusing on milk from China. Since this is a world-wide issue, I hope the DOH adopts a more global approach. One way they can do this is by monitoring blogs that talk about melamine via BlogSearch, and they will be able to keep abreast of more or less uptodate info.
Sometimes, people prefer to micro-blog rather than blog, so another way of finding out what people are saying about melamine is to monitor melamine posts in Twitter.
