Multiple toddlers in China have developed deformed heads after being raised on a protein drink sold to their parents as baby formula, a report has claimed. One mother, Ms Zhu, told the reporter she was devastated after discovering her daughter had been raised on a drink, not formula. Although the manufacturer labels it as a 'solid drink of protein' on the tins, the product has been sold at the baby formula section of a popular maternity store. China has a national food safety standard, which lists the requirements of ingredients and nutritional values of baby formula. The incident saw firms adding a chemical compound called melamine, used in plastic and fertiliser production, into baby formula.
