Nitrate-tainted milk has killed three people and made 35 others ill in the latest food safety scandal to hit the Chinese dairy industry, according to state media.
Early reports indicate that the victims were poisoned by nitrate, a chemical used in the curing of meat, after drinking bulk milk from two farms in Gansu province, in north-west China. The sick, most of whom are children under 14, are being treated in hospitals in Pingliang city. Officials said that one of them is in a critical condition and the others are stable. The two farms at the centre of the scare have been sealed off and senior managers are being interrogated, according to media reports.
