Cadbury: Tests find chemical; it recalls Chinese-made chocolate
Updated 2h 51m ago
HONG KONG (AP) — A spokesman for British chocolate maker Cadbury said Monday that preliminary tests have found the industrial chemical melamine in its Chinese-made chocolates. The company had earlier Monday ordered a recall, the latest foreign company affected by China’s tainted milk scandal. The spokesman said it is too early to say how much melamine is in the chocolates. He declined to give his name because of company policy.

It’s not over yet. More countries are involved. The EU is checking their biscuits, South Korea is checking their butter, African countries, Asian countries, Has anyone heard from North Korea? I wonder if the only subject of the Yu, Yan and Rice meetings is nukes? If you know anyone shopping asian, again, let them know. Milk, milk powder, butter, dairy derivatives, processed foods containing dairy, like cookies, biscuits, breads, puddings, creams. Hey, it’s just me, but that’s what I’d be wondering about. Processed foods are the worst at containing things you didn’t expect. Check the labels, It’s your life, if you’re aren’t sure don’t buy it. (more…)

The FDA is not finding evidence of melamine contaminated infant formula thus far in the USA. However, note at the bottom of the statement they are also now checking into milk derived products generally, in asian markets. If you know anyone who shops asian, let them know. For myself, I’d be wondering about the “finished food products” like maybe cookies? Almond Pudding? CHECK THE LABELS! On the other hand, in some asian products, that’s no guarantee either. (more…)

I’m crossposting this article from chinaview because it is so important. It is in line with the recent FDA warning to beware of infant formula in Asian markets. The facts now are that this was going on at the same time we had melamine related pet deaths in the United States. Be sure and click on the link below to read the entire article:
Three year cover up in China milk scandal
Posted by chinaview on September 19, 2008
The Radio Australia, September 19, 2008-
[Reports in the Chinese media suggest the company at the centre of a contaminated milk scandal knew it had a problem as far back as 2005.
Our correspondent Kerri Ritchie reports, more than 6,000 children in China are sick and four babies have died after drinking milk laced with melamine.
Chinese media is reporting dairy company Sanlu knew its products were contaminated three years ago but kept quiet.
Sanlu’s chairwoman has been sacked along with a number of government officials.
New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra part-owns Sanlu.
Fonterra knew about the crisis six weeks before it went public.
New Zealand trade minister Phil Goff doesn’t believe Fonterra’s representatives at Sanlu should be arrested but he says Fonterra should learn some lessons.
“China is a market of huge opportunity but it’s also a market which operates quite differently from New Zealand,” he said.
Fonterra says it’s now doing all it can to make things right.
Meanwhile, the Chinese government quality watchdog says nearly 10 per cent of milk samples taken from top Chinese dairy companies was contaminated by melamine….]
