  3 of the five products are from Marudai's own plant in China, produced under their own inspection, why did they use melamine? Anyway, no proof yet of harmful effects, but what about Japanese contaminated rice how many tons recalled so far?

  Under thier own inspection? We should all know by now how effective Japanese inspections of ANYTHING are when profit is involved! The inspection process is right up there with the justice system, nothing but a bunch of corrupt morons making feeble attempts to cover their own rear ends!

  Will most of this be repackaged and sold?

  From the AAP network -

  At least four children in China have died from drinking poisonous baby formula.

  Melamine was initially reported only in milk powder but Chinese authorities later said they found it in some regular milk as well.

  The chemical can make milk and other food products appear to have a higher protein content than they actually do.

  It has become apparent in recent days that people in China have been deliberately watering down milk and then adding in the melamine to boost the protein content and make the product look normal.

  Countries from Brunei to Burundi have barred Chinese milk products as a result.
