...parents raised complaints that were ignored by company and local government officials. When the news finally broke in September, tests found four infants had died and more than 60,000 were sickened from formula tainted with melamine, a chemical used in plastics that can make the protein content of milk - and many other food products - appear higher, and, when consumed, can also cause kidney failure. Expanded inspections found traces of melamine in milk powder from 22 of the country's 109 producers.

"They're too expensive," Chernova says, clutching her shopping list with one hand. Now she visits Aldi once a week, drawn by the deep discounter's $2.69 1-gal. jugs of milk and 33-cent boxes of salt.
