Is melamine (cas 108-78-1) harmful to humans?
CAS 108-78-1 Melamine can be harmful to humans, primarily when ingested.
When melamine is ingested, especially in combination with its by-product cyanuric acid, it can form insoluble crystals in the kidneys, leading to kidney stones, acute kidney failure, and even death.
The China National Food Quality Supervision and Inspection Center stated on September 13, 2008, that melamine is a chemical raw material and is not permitted to be added to food.
