达能在英国实行奶粉限购

Demand for foreign-made baby milk in China is strong after contaminated baby formula killed six infants in 2008.

2008年中国出现问题婴幼儿配方奶粉后,中国市场对国外奶粉的需求量越来越大。由于中国对奶粉的需求快速增长,英国的零售商对奶粉实行限购。
 
Retailers in the UK are rationing(定量配给) sales of powdered baby milk because of a surge in demand in China.
 
Danone, the manufacturer of Aptamil and Cow and Gate baby milk powder, said most supermarkets were introducing a restriction of two cans per customer.
 
It said the limit was to prevent some individuals from bulk-buying baby milk for "unofficial exports".
 
Retailers were also capping sales of Nestle's SMA milk, despite the company saying there were no stock shortages.
 
Danone said in a statement: "We understand that the increased demand is being fuelled by unofficial exports to China to satisfy the needs of parents who want Western brands for their babies."
