Wan,

Now Abbott and Wyeth have their own factories in Singapore. All Abbott and Wyeth milk powder sold in mainland China are made in Singapore. The formula is also different from that sold in the USA and Europe.

You have keen eyes. Wyeth and Abbott have many factories everywhere in the world which are under license. Abbott is renowned for its pharmaceutical products.

Wan,

I have also noticed that the milk powder in foreign countries are almost made by pharmaceutical companies. In China, they are made by food companies. Milk powder is a special food for babies. So I think that it's better to let those pharmaceutical companies to produce milk powder.

Dear Raindrop
Producing baby formula milk powder is not the same as producing milk powder for adults. It needs research thus most pharmaceutical companies have the research facilities. Other renowned establishments although not pharmaceutical based, do produce both baby milk formula, such as Nestle.

Wan,

The food safety regulations are looser those in the developped countries. After the 2008 milk scandle, I've lost my confidence in Chinese baby milk powder brands.

PS: I just drink Nestle instant coffee but never taste Nestle infant milk powder. Nestle has its own pastureland in Heilongjiang.

I can understand dear Raindrop of the infamous Sanlu incident. Anyway I don't work for any money generating companies but it is good to share the truth. I think Nestle is considered one of the reliable companies in the world. It has many branches all over the world.

Wan,

Even those famous foreign brands had notorious accidents. However, its quality is better than those Chinese brands. I don't know where Chinese milk companies get milk to make baby milk powder. But those foreign brands claim that they import all raw materials abroad.

Why import when they can have raw materials locally?

Wan,

Milk powder is made from milk. Chinese milk quality is notorious. If the raw material's quality is too bad, how can we ensure the milk powder's quality.
