Melamine (tripolycyanamide) is a nitrogen-rich industrial chemical often used in plastics and adhesives. Allegedly, it has been used by raw materials suppliers to artificially inflate the apparent protein content in various food and feed products.

Melamine has low acute toxicity, but prolonged exposure can lead to urinary stones and other health problems. For more information about melamine, please follow the links below.
