Chinahush: Worm found in imported milk powder, no compensation until worm’s nationality checked

(From QQ news) Many Chinese parents have switched to imported milk powder after the 2008 Chinese milk scandal and other subsequent milk scandals. To guarantee babies’ health, parents don’t mind spending extra money on imported milk powder, many even travel to HK or ask friends in foreign countries to bring back milk powder.

However, not all imported milk powder are safe. Mr Wang recently bought a can of Frisolac milk powder imported from Netherland for his baby, only to discover a live worm among the powder the next day. Mr Wang immediately contacted Frisolac’s distributor in Qingtao, who resolved to accept return and compensate another can of powder. Wang disagreed with the settlement and asked for higher compensation, at which the distributor rejected unless Wang could prove that the worm actually comes from Netherland.
