Title: White Rabbit Candy Alert
Post by: Lil Me on Sep 25 08 12:34
[div class="articleCopy"]VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Melamine has been found in White Rabbit Creamy Candies sold in Singapore and Hong Kong, prompting stores in Vancouver's Chinatown to pull the product as a precaution.[/p] The chemical has been found in high levels in some Chinese milk products, like baby formula, which has sickened thousands of Chinese children.[/p] The Vancouver Province spoke to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which says it has no evidence the candy in Canada is tainted.

 I'm not surprised.  These horrible candies taste like plastic, anyways!
 When I was a kid, I used to eat the rice paper off the outside and throw away the candy.

Oh wow! No really? I haven't eaten that stuff in ages but now I'm not gonna. Right now I've got to be leery of anything that comes from China. Sheesh.

  Thanks for the warning!
