UK baby milk scare fuelled by 'government complacency'

Article Abstract:

The UK government has refused to name the nine brands of baby milk that have been found to contain chemicals that could cause infertility. The phthalates are within official safety levels and the government believes that the information is commercially sensitive. However the government has been criticised for creating more concern than was necessary, particularly as traces of the chemicals were found in each sample tested.
