Cadbury Products Contain Melamine

Have you been cooking with or eating Cadbury products? Just to warn you, in case you haven't already heard, British based candy maker Cadbury has recalled 11 products sold in parts of Asia and the Pacific.

Seems they contain melamine too. Hmm... Makes you wonder, even though the US has put a ban on importing melamine tainted products from China, do you really think we haven't consumed anything made with it?

I think it is pretty far fetched to believe that we haven't. Or, if we haven't that it isn't sitting on grocery store shelves somewhere in the US. Maybe it is just a product we don't consume or like...

When I say we, I am talking myself. This is what I believe, they are my opinions and views, not the media. (That was my disclaimer!)

Back to the subject at hand.

Here is an excerpt from a news report on Yahoo! news:

"Hong Kong's Center for Food Safety said it tested six Cadbury chocolate samples, including two made at Cadbury's Beijing plant, and found them to contain less than 2.5 parts per million legally considered acceptable here. It did not say whether it was testing the other nine products being recalled."

In a nutshell, that means if Cadbury saw fit, they could do nothing and continue to market these products with the current amount of melamine in them. Luckily Cadbury does not see this as a good idea, and is continuing to stand behind their recall.

My guess is we are going to see quite a few more major corporations come out in the near future, stating what their involvement is with melamine in their products.
