Chinese eggs found to contain poison

So I guess it's not enough to just put it in the milk and baby formula , now they have to feed so much Melamine to their Chickens that they are finding dangerous level's in the egg's ,Legal poisoning? It makes you wonder what we have been being fed from our farmers for years! They always said it does not do any harm to the end result of our food processing but now I guess it does!

China news
The potentially deadly industrial chemical melamine has been found for the first time in eggs imported into Hong Kong from China.

The move has prompted concerns that the chemical, which can cause kidney stones and other renal problems, particularly in children, has contaminated more of the city's food supply than first thought.

Melamine, which is used in plastics and fertilisers, had previously been found in baby food formula marketed by China's dairy product giant Sanlu and is blamed for kidney and renal diseases of thousands of babies across the country.

The territory's Centre for Food Safety said it would test samples of all eggs imported from China starting Monday after melamine was found in a box of eggs from Dalian in northern China.

Tests showed the eggs contained almost double the legal limit of the chemical, which is believed to have been in feed given to the chickens.
