Food Safety News of the Week:
Baby Formula Testing Project: Is America's Baby Formula Tainted with
Antibiotics?

NaturalCheck, a company dedicated to helping people ensure that food is
healthy, safe and natural, is looking for 20 volunteers to provide samples
of milk-based baby formula for testing.  The project will test for the
presence of antibiotics given to dairy cows, but supposedly not allowed in
consumer milk products. "News of baby formula contaminated with melamine
last year made us wonder if there are other chemicals in milk and milk
products," said Larry Bohlen, President of NaturalCheck.  Scientists are
concerned that antibiotic residues in milk could cause bacteria to become
resistant to the same antibiotics used to treat people when they are
seriously ill. This OCA/NaturalCheck project company needs volunteers from
all over the country to send in samples of baby formula because there are so
many brands nationwide. In return, testing will be conducted for free and
results will be shared with volunteers, as well as the general public.

This is from the Organic Consumers Association newsletter. Maybe all that
other stuff was a preemptive strike??
