How Feihe survived the 2008 tainted milk scandal and became China's largest baby formula company

In 2008, China’s dairy industry was rocked by a scandal. A chemical called melamine used in plastic was found in baby formula, it was used to artificially boost tested levels of protein in milk. Six children died and 300, 000 were poisoned by the tainted milk. Ever since domestic milk companies have been trying to recover as many parents turn to more trusted foreign brands. Now, China is trying to rebuild trust in its domestic milk producers. Feihe was one of the few baby formula companies in China that didn’t add melamine when the melamine scandal broke out. Today, Feihe has become China’s largest baby formula company.
