White Rabbit brand Chinese candy contaminated: Asian health officials
Last Updated: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 |
http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2008/0 ... abbit.html
A popular brand of Chinese candy sold in Canada contains trace amounts of melamine, say health officials in Singapore and Hong Kong.
Shanghai-based Bright Food Group Ltd. said Tuesday it is checking its White Rabbit brand candy after Singapore announced Sunday that melamine was found in samples of the creamy candy, according to the Shanghai Daily newspaper.
Tests in Hong Kong confirmed the presence of melamine, an industrial chemical used to make plastics and fertilizer that can cause kidney stones and lead to kidney failure.
British supermarket chain Tesco removed White Rabbit candies from its shelves Tuesday.
Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials have not issued a warning or recall for the candy, but stressed that they are inspecting all milk-based products imported from China.
"We have contacted over 100 importers who bring in these products," spokesperson Marc Richard said Wednesday. "Samples are going through our labs."
"We can't discuss individual investigations until there are results. Once there is something to announce, we'll announce it."
White Rabbit candy is exported to Chinatowns around the world, including those in Toronto and Vancouver, says CBC's China correspondent Anthony Germain.
The news of contamination of White Rabbit candy comes a day after the CFIA advised Canadians not to consume three Mr. Brown 3-in-1 instant coffee products — imported from China — because they may contain melamine.
On Sunday, the agency also warned people not to consume Nissin Cha Cha Dessert, a Chinese dessert mix, made with Yili Pure Milk that was possibly tainted with melamine.
Nearly 53,000 children have been sickened and four have died in China after being fed baby formula tainted with melamine.
Tests showed that milk powder in China contained the chemical, which has no nutritional value but was added to make the product appear higher in protein levels when tested.
The crisis was initially thought to have been limited to Chinese milk powder but recent testing found melamine in samples of liquid milk taken from 22 Chinese companies leading to recalls of Chinese milk and dairy products sold around the world.

Canadian safety officials investigate after Heinz melamine recall in China
Tiffany Crawford , Canwest News Service
Published: Friday, September 26, 2008
OTTAWA - Canadian food safety officials are investigating to make sure no baby food products found to contain melamine have been imported to Canada following a recall issued by Heinz because the toxic chemical was found in baby cereal in Hong Kong.
The probe comes a day after Canadian health officials issued a warning not to consume the White Rabbit brand of Chinese candies after tests revealed unacceptable levels of melamine.
H.J. Heinz Co. said Friday it will recall a batch of baby food in Hong Kong as a "precautionary measure" because it showed trace levels of melamine. The company said 1.6 mg/kg was found in Heinz Intelligence Man Many Vegetable Cereal compared to 2,500 mg/kg found in tainted milk formula that has sickened about 53,000 babies in China and Hong Kong. Four children in China have died.
H.J. Heinz Co. said Friday it will recall a batch of baby food in Hong Kong as a 'precautionary measure' because it showed trace levels of melamine.
All other Heinz varieties were found to be free of melamine following widespread testing," the company said in a news release Friday.
A spokeswoman for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said a preliminary investigation shows that there is no evidence the product was ever imported to Canada.
"We are investigating to double check, for due diligence," said Monika Mazur. "This is a very specific product and it seems to be an isolated case."
Mazur said unlike several other countries that have banned Chinese milk imports, Canada instead has set up a system at the borders to flag milk-based products. Many of those products are being held in detention for rigorous testing, said Mazur.
Heinz spokesman Michael Mullen said the baby cereal was made for distribution in Hong Kong and was not distributed elsewhere. He added that Heinz Canada is not affected by the recall.
On Thursday, Canada issued an alert for White Rabbit candies after Hong Kong testing on the product, packaged in 454-gram bags with an expiration date of Nov. 20, 2009, showed melamine levels of 16 parts per million. Under Chinese regulations, the legal limit for melamine in creamy candies is 2.5 parts per million.
Melamine, which can make products appear to contain more protein, is usually used in making plastics. It can be fatal in large amounts.
CFIA has also issued warnings against the consumption of Mr. Brown 3-in-1 instant coffee and Nissin Cha Cha Dessert, made with a milk product from China.
There have been no reported illnesses in Canada linked to any of these products.

Melamine Found in Chinese Vegetables
In addition to the melamine found in dairy products made in China, Chinese media now reports that the contamination has also been found in vegetables throughout the country.
“Recently, experts have investigated and confirmed that melamine has also been found in lettuce, water cress, tomatoes, mushrooms, potatoes and other agricultural products. There is 17 milligrams (0.000037 lbs) of melamine per kilogram (2.20 lbs) of mushrooms,” reports China’s Economics And Finance (Cai Jing) magazine.<a href=http://en.epochtimes.com/n2/china/melamine-vegetables-china-5240.html>continued</a>

Chocolate coins sold in Canada tainted with melamine
October 8, 2008
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning the public not to eat, distribute or sell Sherwood brand Pirate's Gold milk chocolate coins imported from China.
The candy is being recalled after testing positive for the industrial chemical melamine. Canada doesn't allow the use of melamine as a food ingredient.
The candy is sold in 840-gram containers containing 240 pieces per container. They bear the designation UPC 0 36077 11240 7 and the lot code 1928S1.
The candy is sold across Canada by Costco and may also have been sold in bulk packages or as individual pieces at various dollar and bulk stores across Canada.
CFIA says that if the original product identity and UPC code is not evident, consumers should check with their retailer to determine whether they have the affected product.
Retailers and importers have been asked to remove the candy from sale. There have been no reported illnesses associated with the candy in this country.
Although the health risk associated with these products is considered low, the federal advisory was issued after an investigation into milk and milk-derived products from China that may have reached Canadian store shelves.

My mistake apparently the stuff doesn't just coming from China.
http://www.canada.com/topics/news/story ... 7faa46e01d
There is no way for the Canadian public to know whether these ingredients wound up in processed products imported to Canada from the United States, says Patrick Woodall, a senior policy analyst at Food & Water Watch, based in Washington, DC.
"Obviously, if the Chinese imports are used by U.S. food processors, Canadian authorities would never be able to source the product to China," said Woodall.

Here's one of the problems that was pointed out to me by a friend who is a business owner and ships in product from places like India and Pakistan.
If it comes to Canada direct he pays his Canadian duties on foreign product. BUT if it is waylayed somewhere along the way and ends up being shipped through the US it is considered American product and additional duties added. The product is now considered a US product even though it just had a stop over there. You see where I'm going with this??
How will we ever know where the product "really" came from. Add to that the problem of the food product may not come from China but that does not mean to say the most of the ingredients that went into making it didn't.

Health Canada recalls pacifiers contaminated with lead
Canwest News Service
Published: Thursday, October 16, 2008
OTTAWA -- About 10,000 baby pacifiers sold in Canada were recalled Thursday after they were tested positive for high levels of lead, according to Health Canada.
The recall affects all "My Baby" brand pacifiers, including those sold in twin packs with the UPC code of 777858800037 and silicone pacifiers with caps with the UPCcode of 777858800044. The soothers were manufactured in Thailand.
Although only the orange pacifiers tested positive for lead, the Toronto-based importer, Ontai Products Company, has voluntarily agreed to recall all of the products, Health Canada said. The pacifiers were sold from April, 2007, to October, 2008, at Everything For A Dollar Stores across the country.
Exposure to lead can cause vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, coma or even death. Infants, young children and pregnant women are the most susceptible to lead poisoning, Health Canada said.
The agency says no illnesses has been reported as a result of the recall.

I assumed that everything from China was contaminated with something and they had moved on to people (including their own) after they failed to kill all our pets.
FU China. 12 years in and the finicky Oscar Madison moved casually over to Origen from Champion Pet Foods in Morinville, Alberta and I myself will consume NOTHING I know to come from your toilet garbage dump of a country. My Bluepoint eats better than your people do now.

I watched a documentary about China and one of the things mentioned was that the dehydrated berries that come in cereal like Special K come from China. I can't remember for the life of me what the name of the program was but I did find others online that had heard the same thing http://www.cbc.ca/marketplace/2007/10/2 ... t_fish_in/

Findings from probe of lead in toys 'deeply disturbing': Clement
Last Updated: Friday, October 24, 2008
http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2008/1 ... ement.html
Health Canada on Friday acknowledged consumer concern over recently recalled children's products for high lead levels, saying parents should feel safe purchasing toys for their children.
The federal department this week issued recalls for toys including charm kits and a miniature hockey stick, following a Toronto Star investigation that found the children's products contained unsafe levels of lead.
"The findings of the Star's investigation are deeply disturbing," federal Health Minister Tony Clement said in a statement.
Clement said consumer product safety legislation, seeking stricter penalties for offenders and allow for mandatory recalls, will be reintroduced in Parliament.
The following products were recalled this week:

Health Canada on Friday acknowledged consumer concern over recently recalled children's products for high lead levels, saying parents should feel safe purchasing toys for their children.
The federal department this week issued recalls for toys including charm kits and a miniature hockey stick, following a Toronto Star investigation that found the children's products contained unsafe levels of lead.
"The findings of the Star's investigation are deeply disturbing," federal Health Minister Tony Clement said in a statement.
Clement said consumer product safety legislation, seeking stricter penalties for offenders and allow for mandatory recalls, will be reintroduced in Parliament.
The following products were recalled this week:
- ~About 3,240 hockey sticks were distributed across the country by Calgary-based Hotzee Inc. from April 2008 to October 2008 with the UPC 622822421643.
~About 5,940 CTG Kool Charmz gift sets, item #60901 sold in stores across Canada from September 2004 to October 2008.
~About 900 Super Dooper Charms item #63403, Shoelace Charms item #67310 sold across Canada from January 2006 to October 2008.
~About 11,700 Make-It Special pewter embellishments, item #02-0201860, sold in Dollarama stores across Canada from May 2007 to October 2008.
~About 10,000 My Baby brand pacifiers, item #OP-003, UPC 777858800037 and #OP-004 UPC 777858800044 sold at Everything For A Dollar Stores across Canada from April 2007 to October 2008.
