This is in the news this morning. Anyone know anything about it?

Only that it is trace amounts and does not pose a threat.

There were also traces of melamine found in our baby formulas here they say they are not harmful but can we really be sure?? The formula I use is luckily not afftected or so they claim. (I live in Namibia in Africa on the border of South Africa)

They are not saying which brand it was.

Well thats scary. At first, it is always, "not enough to pose a threat", but all too often it seems, we find out later that it was enough to cause concern.

I wish the articles provided more details. They said Enfamil AR with Iron tested positive...well, my DD is on Enfamil AR with Iron....does that mean her brand is contaminated too?

Nestle Good Start tested positive and in house testing shows that Similac tested positive. So whats left? I am ready to go by a new brand, but I dont know what else to buy.
