Osteoblast Milk Protein?
I posted information about Danone milk powder earlier today only to read an update a few hour from the AP indicating that the "unapproved protein additive" in Danone's milk powder sold in China has been found to be "OMP" or Osteoblast Milk Protein. This product is not approved for use in China, nor by the FDA in the US. Marion Nestle is already on top of it and has commented at Food Politics.

Milk Powder Investigated in China
Milk Powder from Dumex, a subsidiary of France's Group Danone SA, is under investigation in China for using an "unapproved protein additive". Officials are specifically focusing on whether or not the additive is melamine. Mengniu Dairy Group Co. is also under similar investigation.
