[Silverbird]

WASHINGTON - U.S. regulators warned the public on Friday not to consume seven Mr. Brown instant coffee and milk tea products that were made in China because of concerns they may be contaminated with melamine.
The Food and Drug Administration said the products were recalled by King Car Food Industrial Co Ltd "due to possible contamination with melamine."...

[China's lax food safety law enforcement - we thought we weren't affected this time. Sigh]

Can you say pet food recall.

Great! Now I can't even have my morning eye-opener. That's even worse than the markets tanking! :laugh:

(Maybe that's why I do the gourmet coffee snob stuff.)

It was only a matter of time.

How many OTHER Chinese made food products do you think will be found to be contaminated?

Start reading the lables folks- if it is made in China, check out of milk is an ingredient. If so- well, Cavet Emptor....


Coffee. Nothing so AMERICAN as a god cup of Joe.

And now, even that too is spoiled by greed.

Not to make everyone paranoid, but some of this milk has appeared (at least in Japan) in products that aren't labeled made in China because they are not made in China, especially with things like cake that contain milk as one of the ingredients but were made in Japan. I'm not sure if the coffee says made in China either.

If it's too cheap to be true, now it's time to be careful. I was hoping that it was only in baby formula milk since China isn't cleared to export that to the US, but its all of these different milk products, and it got here.
