Setting minimums for contaminants

Re Melamine (“Standard is set for infant formula,” Nov. 29):

Tell me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t melamine have to be specifically added to infant formula?

It’s neither in the original ingredients nor in the environment of the production process.

By this interesting logical stretch by the Food and Drug Administration, one little bit of cat waste in dessert is OK.
