Test finds formula milk in baby death case safe

RESULTS of an initial test, released yesterday, showed that a leading Chinese dairy's milk formula is safe, following claims a baby died from drinking it earlier this month.

The center of quality inspection of dairy products in Jiangxi Province found that all five samples of a milk formula from the Nasdaq-listed Synutra International Inc passed bacteria tests, a local commerce official said.

A four-month twin in rural Jiangxi's Duchang County reportedly suffered from diarrhea and uncontrollable shaking after drinking Synutra's Youbo milk formula, the family claimed.

The baby boy died in a pediatric hospital while his twin sister was discharged from hospital on Wednesday, the family said.

The child's parents told Xinhua news agency that they had not decided what to do next.
