Here is an update from the Food and Water Watch organization on melamine tainted milk:

Here's a link to a take action campaign to ask the FDA to ban contaminated dairy products from China is anyone is interested:

It really irks me that the FDA is choosing to set an "acceptable" level of melamine contaimination in the dairy products imported from China rather than adopting a zero tolerance standard.
And why does the US need to import milk when we have plenty of dairies here that could use our support? I want real food, real local, from real community farms! How can it be that this isn't an obvious first choice? **shakes mystified head***
Avoid the melamine - buy local milk from a farmer you know
