BEIJING — China’s health minister blamed a dairy Saturday for the delay in warning the public about tainted milk powder linked to kidney stones in infants and at least one death. The number of known sick babies rose to 432.
Officials complained they were not alerted to the milk problem until Monday even though the product’s maker, Sanlu Group Co., had received complaints as early as March and its tests found a banned chemical in the milk powder in August. The company ordered a recall Thursday.
