Asian Candy Distributed By Burlingame Company Determined To Be Toxic
http://www.ktvu.com/news/17587125/detail.html
BURLINGAME, Calif. -- A Burlingame food distribution company that specializes in Asian imports is continuing a voluntary recall of Chinese candies after state officials found them to be contaminated.
Queensway Foods Company Inc., a U.S. distributor of White Rabbit Candy, has responded to consumer warnings from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the California Department of Health and the San Mateo Public Health Department by recalling every flavor of the Chinese-produced candy after testing found it to contain dangerous levels of the toxin melamine, Suanne Buggy of the state health department confirmed Monday.
The California Department of Public Health conducted tests confirming a level of melamine in the candy, which, according to Buggy, was "unacceptably high."
There have been no U.S. reports of illness connected to White Rabbit Candy, which was distributed by Queensway Foods throughout the southwestern states, according to representatives of federal, state and local agencies.
