As many of you know, a Chinese milk company has used the industrial chemical Melamine which has now been associated with contaminated infant formula and other Chinese products containing milk protein.
Melamine can cause kidney stones, leading to kidney failure: Infants are particularly vulnerable. The contamination has been blamed for the deaths of four children in China and kidney ailments among 54,000 others. More than 13,000 children have been hospitalized and 27 people arrested in connection with the tainting.
Recently Chinese candy contaminated with Melamine has been found in White Rabbit Creamy Candy sold in California and Connecticut. No such products have been discovered in Canada has of yet.
However, just to be safe, Vancouver Halloween advises all consumers to avoid purchasing any candy manufactured in China containing milk products.
Please verify all Halloween candy products prior to purchasing them and notify your local health authorities should you find any candy manufactured in China containing milk products.
Wishing you all a safe and Spooky Halloween!
