Date Posted: 13:44:22 05/08/07 Tue This from another board . We need to examine wheat flour for melamine contamination. This is expanding beyond the contamination of pet food, hog feed, chicken feed and fish feed. It involves basic ingredients of our food. Wheat flour. From today's Houston Chronicle: U.S. investigators also have learned that the purported Chinese wheat gluten and a second ingredient, rice protein concentrate, were actually simple wheat flour. The flour was spiked with melamine and related, nitrogen-rich compounds to make it appear more protein rich than it was. In tests, nitrogen levels are measured to gauge the overall protein content of food ingredients. "What we discovered is these are not wheat gluten and rice protein concentrate but in fact are wheat flour contaminated by melamine," Acheson said. The FDA is considering enforcement options, he added. The ingredients came from two Chinese firms: Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Co. and Futian Biology Technology Co. Ltd.
