Dear Associates,
News of China's melamine-tainted milk scandal has led to customer concerns regarding the quality of dairy ingredients in manufactured food products. Please be assured that Isagenix® does not source any milk products or milk-derived ingredients for any of our products, in any market, from China.
Melamine is a toxic industrial chemical that has been used illegally to give the appearance of higher protein content in a product. It has been found in milk, candies, cakes and various other products produced in China.
We are saddened to hear of the melamine contamination of infant formula, which is responsible for more than 54,000 children having to seek medical treatment, the hospitalization of more than 12,900, and the deaths of four infants. In response, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an alert for consumers to beware of certain milk products or milk-derived ingredients originating from China including whey protein.
We have also received absolute assurance of safety from our New Zealand dairy supplier who provides the whey protein used in Isagenix products. The dairy is sourced from farmers who take enormous pride in the quality of their product and have highest ethical standards.
When choosing nutritional products, it's important to rely on a name that you and your family can trust. Isagenix maintains a "no-compromise" quality policy ensuring the integrity of all individual ingredients as well as finished products.
Sincerely,
Bill Wheeler, Ph.D., ACSM
