Toxic Leather Protein Found in Chinese Dairy Products

admin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 06:42:33 +0000

After the melamine-tainted milk scandal, China’s dairy industry is hit by yet another incident. Hydrolyzed leather protein has been found in batches of dairy products made by Morning Garden dairy company. The company is based in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province. The Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision started testing Morning Garden’s milk products on March 18, after an anonymous tip. So far, 11 out of 14 batches they’ve tested contain hydrolyzed leather protein. This protein is made from leather scraps. When added to dairy products, it increases the protein content—but it’s illegal. It’s dangerous for humans because it contains potassium dichromate and sodium dichromate. These chemicals are toxic and can even cause cancer in high doses.
