Chinese state television is reporting that authorities have found melamine in milk sold in stores, widening a scare over contaminated powdered milk in which four people have died.

A nationwide inspection found traces of the industrial chemical in products from three of the country's biggest dairies, CCTV reported, citing the quality control administration.

The inspection was launched after the discovery of melamine, normally used in plastics, in powdered milk.
