The number of Chinese babies known to have fallen ill with kidney stones as a result of contaminated milk powder has risen to 432, officials have announced.
"This is a severe food safety accident," health ministry official Gao Qiang, said. Those responsible would be "severely" punished, he added.
Later, it was announced that 19 people had been arrested.
