High price of globalisation

Contaminated milk products have caused illness, including death, to children in both China and Hong Kong. In the old days, prior to globalisation, that would be it - parents around the world could feel the pain of their Asian counterparts, but not fear the same threat to their own children. That's not the case today. At least one product here in Australia (White Rabbit Creamy Candies - usually found in Asian grocery stores) is being tested to see if they contain traces of the industrial chemical melamine.
