A COURT has upheld jail terms of three to five years for three Shanghai Panda Dairy executives over producing and selling melamine-tainted milk products.
Shanghai No.1 Intermediate People's Court threw out the appeals of Wang Yuechao, Hong Qide, and Chen Dehua today. It also upheld a 900,000 yuan (US$131,839) fine for three of them passed by Fengxian District court last month.
The trio, all managers of Shanghai Panda, reused the tainted milk made during the 2008 national melamine scandal. They used batches, either returned from customers or left in stock since the scandal, to produce condensed milk to save costs.
The three confessed to producing and selling products with melamine at the second trial though they claimed they had no idea of the poisonous chemical being added when they filed an appeal.
The nationwide melamine scandal started with Sanlu Dairy Group in North China's Hebei Province. These products killed at least six babies and sickened about 300,000 others across China.
Tian Wenhua, former chairwoman of Sanlu Group, received a life sentence in January 2009 for producing melamine-tainted milk powder and hiding the truth from the public.
