The premature sexual development that occurred, allegedly after consumption of Synutra milk, included symptoms such as breast growth, the hardening of tissue under skin, and inflammation of the vagina.
In its Aug. 9 web disclosure, Synutra said,“We do not add hormones to our products and we have invested heavily in research, quality control, formulas and ingredients.”
The victim’s mother took issue with the company. According to Qianjiang Evening Newspaper, Ms. Deng from Wuhan indicated that her daughter’s vaginal inflammation was obviously ameliorated after being taken off of the Synutra milk formula, though hard tissue remained in the infant’s breast. She wanted to have the product analyzed, but the relevant agency would not deal with individual requests, and hormone testing was not included in its standard milk analysis testing.
Health Times reported that this current incident bears similarities to the Sanlu company incident in 2008: the melamine-tainted milk powder scandal that left at least six infants dead, and hundreds of thousands ill. A reporter in Wuhan commented to Health Times that before Sanlu admitted the crime, “I’ve visited all possible places. Yet no one cares, and not a single [government] department wanted to be the first to conduct the analysis.”
Deng Haihua, a spokesman for China’s Health Ministry, said on Tuesday that food safety officials are investigating a specific infant formula brand for the premature sexual symptoms associated with its alleged consumption.
