It can't easily detected in the laboratory tests and the companies sold them without any fear.
But the chemical compound can't be easily detected in initial tests. Because the assesments are done to identify the amount of protein on the basis of Nitrogen content and luckily this compound is rich in Nitrogen. When further tests are done to identify the type of protein then it was found that the Nitrogen is present due to Melamine!
Country's Who Banned it
In 2008, about 3 lacs children of China fall sick due to milk adulteration initially the government didn't recognize it after lot of test they found Melamine a main reason and banned its adulteration in milk and in any other food.
In USA and many other countries also it is banned.
But in India the milk factories are using it in small amounts but it also a great threat to children.
This adulterated milk is also used to make sweets in India. The chemical compound gives hardness to the sweets which is not naturally present in sweets when compared.
