A MAN in Chongqing Municipality has gone on trial, charged with selling 2.5 tons of poisonous milk powder to hog farms that contained melamine at up to 515 times the state standard, the Chongqing Evening News reported yesterday.
The 38-year-old suspect surnamed Tang is said to have told police that he began buying expired milk powder two years ago from dealers in Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces and sold it on to farms in Chongqing and Chengdu.
In August 2009, he bought 6.75 tons of milk powder from Hebei Province at slightly more than 2,000 yuan (US$309) per ton, and later sold 5 tons to a feed dealer surnamed Zhang in Chongqing at 5,800 yuan per ton and the other 1.75 tons to farmers in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province, according to Tang.
Tang is said to have told police he was told the milk powder contained "a little" melamine, but he did not send it for inspection.
A farm owner who used Tang's milk powder told the newspaper his pigs suffered diarrhea after eating it.
