BEIJING, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- A top government safety official quit Monday in the deadly tainted-milk scandal that has sickened more than 50,000 babies in China, authorities said.
Li Changjiang, who oversaw quality control in food products, was the most senior official to lose his job since the government began investigating the poisoning of milk products with melamine, an industrial chemical, that has killed four children, The New York Times reported Monday.
