根据国营媒体的报导，在2008年，有6名儿童死亡，另外还有30多万名因食入受三聚氰胺污染的奶类制品而感到不适的病患。
Adding melamine to milk products makes the protein content appear higher. When ingested by humans, it can cause kidney failure and other serious health problems.
添加三聚氰胺的奶类制品，可使蛋白质含量变得较高。当被人体摄取后，将会导致肾功能衰竭以及其他严重的健康问题。
In this most recent melamine scandal, tainted products have been produced by companies across China, including Shanghai, Guizhou and Liaoning Province in the northeast.
在这最近的三聚氰胺丑闻中，这些受污染的产品是由中国各地的公司所生产，包括上海、贵州以及东北的辽宁省。
