Thanks to
I would suggest paying close attention to the growing list, as a lot of the products are candy, and Halloween is around the corner. Fricat points out, "Foods with low levels of dairy based ingredients, such as candies and biscuits, are likely to be infrequently consumed and in small amounts so they are not considered to be a high-risk food for potential dietary exposure to melamine even if the dairy ingredient has been adulterated."
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) this week updated its general FAQ page for melamine contamination. This is a global food list. FDA has only recalled Mr. Brown instant coffee and milk tea products.

Oh gosh. Happy Halloween, kids. What a disaster.
ReplyDeleteAsinum Asinus Fricat (AAF for short) is a guy, FYI.
Does that mean the happy Halloween candy if purchased in the U.S. is not contaminated? Or does that mean the USDA, as usual, is dragging its feet?
ReplyDeleteIt means that list is fourth hand information, and you should (and should urge our blogger host to) dig back to the original source.
ReplyDeleteI followed it three blog-jumps back to where you can find it along with this caveat, which should have been carried along with the list.
The original source? Check it out.
NOTE: The list below was obtained from an Australian resident. Please remember that a particular brand and product may be manufactured in different countries, and the most likely products contaminated by melamine are those manufactured in China, with those manufactured in countries outside China most likely to be free of melamine contamination unless they used raw materials from China...."
Here is the first-hand list from FDA about product recalls:
ReplyDelete* YILI Brand Sour Milk Drink
* YILI Brand Pure Milk Drink
* Blue Cat Flavored Drinks
* White Rabbit Candies
* Mr. Brown Mandehling Blend Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
* Mr. Brown Arabica Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
* Mr. Brown Blue Mountain Blend Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
* Mr. Brown Caramel Macchiato Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
* Mr. Brown French Vanilla Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
* Mr. Brown Mandheling Blend instant Coffee (2-in-1)
* Mr. Brown Milk Tea (3-in-1)
* Infant formula manufactured in China
Hank may prefer that short but non-negligible list to Ashley's longer list of products about which concerns were raised overseas. Others may find Ashely's longer citation from the Australian blogger more relevant to their concerns. I doubt the FDA list is exhaustive for Chinese-sourced products on U.S. retail shelves, so it seems reasonable for some readers to be interested in the full list.
