BTW everyone, the acceptable limit of melamine quoted in the original article was for adults. No limit for children has ever been set. --Cirroc

Saiseriya most be close because the amount of pizza sold and the risk that many little children was expoused,its makes me sad how people think that money can buy your Health if you got ill with such a poison ? the health is priceless and people most banned this kind of treatment from this restaurant...no food control,only thinking in profit..keep rollin saiseriya....

Buying dough from China : crazy !

Putting milk (powdered or else) into pizza dough : crazy enough to make any Napolitan go berserk !

However, the list of health hazards posed by these so-called pizze has not been established in full ; just remember that on most pizze you have cheese, in general what is described as "mozzarella" (although what industrial pizza makers call mozzarella has very little to do with authentic italian mozzarella di buffala) ; and a lot of industrial "mozzarella" is produced in China (some of it has even found its way into Italy).

Italian restaurant chain operator Saizeriya

that is 100% debatable.

anything coming out of China with milk in it is questionable but how would we have known that they were getting their dough from China? There is no way to avoid this stuff.

Of course the tainted rice has gone below the radar. Who knows how long it will take before the "investigation" into that one is complete.

May as well eat the friggin locusts.

You can bet that we've all eaten some melamine by now wherever we live and we will continue to do so for a while. How many frozen products are laced with it? Like tainted meat that was supposedly taken off the market, they will find their way onto our plates sooner or later.

Italian??? You've got to be bare faced o be able to call this chain 'Italian', a bastardiazed monstrous misrepresentation of Italian food, maybe, but Italian? NO!

Saizeria President Yasuhiko Shogaki said that his company will pay back the charges, beginning Tuesday, to customers regardless of whether they have kept the receipts for their pizza orders

does this mean that anyone can just walk in there and demand a refund even without proof of consumption??? i guess, the word HONESTY will play a very big role on this one, hey.

and how about the medical expenses should anyone get ill because of their pizzas? i can smell a stinking shortchange here fellows.

Funny you bring that up. Unlike the melamine scandal, no one died or even got sick from tainted rice. Yet the Minister of Agriculture was forced to resign. Also, the rice was imported, some from, gulp China. Also, the matter has been resolved. If you were trying to point to a double standard, you didn't. --Cirroc
