Hong Kong girl sick from tainted milk

HONG KONG, Sept. 21 (UPI) -- The Chinese tainted milk scandal spread to Hong Kong Sunday, with officials saying a 3-year-old girl had been hospitalized with a kidney stone.

Citing unnamed sources, The Daily Telegraph reported Sunday that Hong Kong's Princess Margaret Hospital was treating a girl who regularly drank milk supplied by Yili, one of China's two biggest dairy companies.

The British newspaper said Hong Kong officials yanked all Yili products off the shelves last week after some were found to contain the banned additive melamine, sometimes used by farmers and wholesalers to disguise substandard and watered down milk.

The Telegraph also said the Dutch firm Friesland Foods, which sells Chinese-supplied milk in Asia under the Dutch Lady label, has recalled its products after a milkshake tested positive for melamine.
