China has launched an investigation in to claims that baby formula caused infant girls in Hubei province to grow breasts. The Health Ministry is testing samples of the formula, which is made by Synutra International.

have grown breasts prematurely. An official at Wuhan Children’s Hospital claims
three of the four infants treated for premature sexual development have never
eaten Synutra baby formula.
Synutra CEO Liang Zhang defended the company in a statement
Monday. “We do not add hormones to our products and we have invested heavily in
research, quality control, formulations and ingredients,” Zhang said in a
statement.
New Zealand based Fonterra supplies milk powder to
Synutra. In a statement Wednesday, Fonterra said they are “100 percent
