【新唐人2012年2月4日讯】大陆奶粉行业问题不断，特别是近几年，由于被问题奶粉引发的大头娃娃、和毒奶粉等问题吓怕，大陆民众开始选用外国奶粉，一度出现全球抢购奶粉的热浪。大陆人士表示，中国已没有什么东西可以放心吃了，宁可多花点钱买外国产品，以图安心。
自从2004年安徽阜阳发生大头娃娃事件后，婴儿奶粉的事故接连不断。2008年的三聚氰胺毒奶粉、前年引发婴儿性早熟奶粉、去年蒙牛乳制品验出含致癌物质等等，致使民众对大陆生产的奶粉完全失去信心，进口奶粉几乎已变成大陆父母的唯一选择。
香港《苹果日报》报导，大陆人到香港抢奶粉，已经是家常便饭。为让他们的子女有足够粮食，又转向全球其他国家。温哥华、美国出现抢购奶粉，速递回大陆的热潮。在欧洲的中国移民、留学生也都加入抢购奶粉行列。德国媒体也报导，中国有3000家网购网站在卖德国奶粉。
而在温哥华，除婴儿配方奶粉，连给中、老年人专用的奶粉都成为抢手货。当地的速递业者表示，每天运往中国的货 物，有一半都是奶粉。大陆深圳进口运输公司业务负责人也证实了这一点，他表示，现在好多国家通过他们往大陆运递奶粉。
进口运输公司业务负责人：“我们都有，比如荷兰、越南、美苏，包括英国的也有，德国、西堡之类的都在做。你在国内都能买得到，有很多商家，淘宝商很多。”
另外，大批华人到日本当地超市抢购奶粉，超市货架经常都是空空的，当地人强烈要求政府介入，制止抢购。
早前，洛杉矶一家店铺在网上促销一种婴儿奶粉，也引起当地华人的争相抢购，网站更被华人瘫痪数小时，这批奶粉被一扫而光，当地人怨声载道。
大陆结石宝宝之家工作人员朱玉庆：“国内一些企业以利益为中心，质量肯定上不去，一心想降低成本，一些奶源都没有保障。另一方面，国内一些相关的职能部门，没有起到应有的作用，没有管理。”
大陆“结石宝宝之家”最近统一体检，有几百个家庭的孩子做了体检，有的孩子情况依然很严重。“结石宝宝之家”工作人员朱玉庆的孩子每天早上起来，眼皮都是肿的，天天需要通风调理。孩子免疫力下降，经常生病，痛苦不堪。
大陆即将要做妈妈的菁菁女士表示，有了孩子是喜事，可是一想到食品方面就担忧。
菁菁：“像我吧，平时一直想要个孩子，结婚都三年了才有个孩子，但是，面临着孩子出生了要吃奶粉还是喂母乳？如果是喂母乳还可以，如果吃奶粉，面临的问题就是如何去选择奶粉？但是，国内的奶粉现在不是这个问题就是那个问题，对我们家长来说就是一个很大的困扰。”
长期关注中国食品安全的作家周勍表示，在中国，乳品行业是一个暴利行业。中国奶粉问题层出不穷，中国的奶粉已经在消费者心中完全丧失了信誉。

Chinese Parents Snatch Up Baby Formula Globally
In mainland China, the problems within the milk industry
are continuously being exposed.
Especially in recent years, local people have become wary of
the substandard infant formula that caused the “big-headed babies” and other incidents.
China’s citizens started choosing foreign brands,
creating a snatch up of global proportions.
Some Chinese said there’s nothing safe left to eat in China,
and they would rather spend extra money for foreign food that they are assured is edible.
Since the “big-headed babies” incident happened in 2004 in
Fuyang city Anhui province,
there’s continuous baby milk powder problems in China.
There was melamine-tainted infant formula in 2008,
then the sexual precocity milk powder in 2010.
Last year, the dairy products produced by Mengniu
were found to contain carcinogenic substances.
The local people completely lost their confidence with the
local milk powder, and felt that imported formula was the only safe choice.
The Hong Kong “Apple Daily" reported an usual phenomenon
occurred, in that people from mainland China snatch up the milk powder in Hong Kong.
Furthermore the Chinese snatched up milk powder all
around the world to feed their children.
Now there’s a wave of Chinese buying milk powder in
Canada and the U.S. to bring back to mainland China.
In Europe, the Chinese immigrants and overseas students
joined the shopping group that’s snatching up milk powder.
German media reported that there are more than 3,000 online
shops selling German milk powder in China.
In Vancouver, in addition to infant formula, even the
specific formula for the elderly is a popular commodity.
The local courier said that half of the daily mailed goods
to China is milk powder.
A Shenzhen import transport agent confirmed this data and
said there are many business that ship the milk powder from several foreign countries to China.
An import transport agent: “We’ve transferred from Holland,
Vietnam, the U.S., Russia, U.K., Germany, West Fort, etc.
You can buy it in China.
There’s many online sellers on the Taobao website.”
In addition, a large number of Chinese went to Japan to buy
milk powder, which triggered a shortage in supermarkets.
Local Japanese strongly urged the government
to intervene and stop this kind panicked buying.
Earlier, a Los Angeles store had an online promotion for an
infant formula.
The local Chinese competed to buy, which caused the
website to crash, and it was down for several hours.
The infant formula sold out in a short time and local
westerners had a lot of complaints.
Zhu Yuqing, a staff member of the Home for Kidney Stone
Babies: “Some domestic enterprises centered on profit aren’t concerned with the quality in an effort to reduce the cost.
The quality of raw milk can’t be guaranteed.
On the other hand, many related functional departments in
the government weren’t managed properly.”
Recently, the “Home for Kidney Stone Babies” organized a
physical examination for hundreds of the kidney stone babies.
Some of babies are still in a serious situation.
Every morning, when Zhu Yuqing’s child wakes up,
his eyelids are swollen.
He has a daily treatment, but his immunity is decreased and
he falls ill easily. It’s very painful.
Jingjing, an expectant mother, said that it’s a good thing
to have a baby, but there’s many concerns with the food.
Jingjing: “I want to have a baby.
I’ve been married for 3 years and will have a baby.
But now I have a question – will I breast-feed or use infant
formula?
If breast-fed, it should be fine; but if I use milk powder,
there’s the question of which formula?
So far, there are many problems with the milk powder in China,
choosing the right formula is a big concern for our parents.”
Zhou Jing, a writer who focuses on the long-term safety of
Chinese food, said that the dairy industry is a lucrative business in China.
There are milk powder problems one after another, and
Chinese milk powder lost its credibility in consumers’ minds.
