Lipton Milk Tea Tainted by Toxic China Milk

Have you bought or drank Lipton Milk tea lately? I’ve been scanning regional news reports and came across an item that says that Unilever already withdrew the Lipton green milk tea from the shelves off Taiwanese groceries and supermarkets after finding out that Unilever might have used tainted milk from Chinese companies. That tainted milk, my friends, contain melamine, a plastic resin used for manufacturing plastic cups and plates. 

How many boxes of Lipton Green milk tea are in the Philippine market? How many groceries and supermarkets here sells Lipton Green milk tea? The Department of Health and the Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) should advise the Philippine Retailers Association or the Philippine Association of Groceries and Supermarkets to immediately take those Lipton Green Milk Tea from the shelves. These tea bags could cause many deaths since there’s a high concentration of the deadly chemical in them.
Unilever Philippines should be responsible enough to tell the people (a) how many boxes of its Lipton Milk tea are in the market (b) how many of those supplies came from Taiwan and Indonesia and (c) what are the measures being done by the company to protect the consumers from these toxic milk teas.
