Milk laced with the industrial chemical melamine has been blamed in the deaths of four babies and for sickening more than 54,000 children and shaken confidence worldwide in Chinese exports. The government has been struggling to show the public that it is dealing successfully with the tainted milk scandal, which comes on the heels of the widely praised Beijing Olympics. On Monday, the State Council, China's Cabinet, acknowledged that the dairy industry was "chaotic" and had suffered from a grave lack of oversight, while pledging to monitor milk products from farm to dinner table. At a dairy farm in the Inner Mongolian city of Hohhot, where six people were arrested for tampering with milk on Monday, inspector Li Junpeng is monitoring the whole process of milking, including cleaning the cows, milking the cows and delivering the milk, as part of his job to control the quality of the milk. More than 5,000 inspectors have been dispatched by the country's food safety watchdog to check dairy factories in mid September. The inspections have covered all dairy producers across the country to monitor the entire production process around the clock. Meanwhile, one Chinese entrepreneur believes it is time to regulate the country's milk farms. The head of China's quality watchdog said the country was also stepping up checks on its exports to ensure they conformed to the food safety standards of recipient countries, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. China has struggled to contain public dismay and growing international concern over the latest tainted milk scandal. The scandal has sparkled global concern about Chinese food imports and recalls in many countries of Chinese-made products including milk powder, cookies and candies.
