Due to high amounts of bacteria in Neem toothpaste. Not that we use it but I just wanted you folks to be aware of this.

 TORONTO (CP) - Health Canada is warning that a toothpaste from India that was earlier discovered to contain a chemical found in antifreeze also contains high levels of harmful bacteria.

 The department is warning that Neem Active Toothpaste with Calcium, made by Calcutta Chemical Co. Ltd. in India, should not be used.

I think you can only get them at Indian grocery stores. Though I've never noticed this particular brand before, I have come across various brands from all over the world in Asian shops. It's just in me to go look at toothpastes from around the world.

I hope they don't waste all the tainted toothpaste.  They could send it to factories in China and use it to glue children's toys together.
