Parents from China are willing to buy milk powder from Singapore at a premium and shipping it back to their country, following a series of food safety scandals.

Shin Min Daily News reported that some parents in China have been paying double to buy baby formula from Singapore, and are willing to pay up to $200 to have the product couriered to their home, reported the Shin Min Daily News.

Madam Tan, a Chinese national who has been living in Singapore for more than 10 years, told Shin Min that she has been sending baby formula to a friend in China who gave birth two months ago.

She ships 12 cans of the product each month, revealing that it costs $90 to deliver the product by sea and $190, by air.

She said that her friend does not mind the extra costs as she believes that the products from Singapore are of higher quality.

Shin Min also reported that there is a website set up to help Chinese nationals living in Singapore who are not familiar with the shipping procedures for the product.
