The tally of children sickened by tainted milk in China jumped to nearly 53,000 as the government vowed to crack down on those responsible for the scandal, which has raised more questions about the safety of the country's food chain.
More than 80 per cent of the 12,892 children hospitalised in recent weeks were 2 years old or younger, the Health Ministry said in a statement posted on its website late on Sunday. The statement said most consumed infant formula from one company, the Shijiazhuang Sanlu Group Co., the dairy at the centre of one of China's worst food safety scandals in years.Another 39,965 children received outpatient treatment at hospitals and were considered ``basically recovered,'' the ministry said.
