Public anxiety over milk and milk products possibly tainted with the industrial chemical melamine has been growing.  As a result, there’s an urgent clamor for the Philippine Bureau of Food and Drugs to immediately make available a list of products that have either tested positive or negative for the kidney-damaging chemical.

The BFAD is currently testing 51 products and is expected to release its findings by Friday.  Earlier, it has crossed out Anchor Lite Milk, Anlene Milk and Anmum Maternal Milk drink from its negative list.

Meantime, other countries are continuously testing China-made products for possible melamine contamination.

The NBN team thought of collating these reports for the benefit of our consumers  and here is a partial alert list:
