So, Did You Hear About M&m's, Snickers, And Oreos

[darlindeb25]

I know it's a huge link. It's from news telling us all about dairy products tainted with melamine. Remember when the whole issue about the pet food came out? This is the same chemical that was in the pet food. First they were only talking about baby formula's, now it seems this melamine may be in many, many products that contain milk of some sort, especially the products that have powdered milk in them. They first came out saying we shouldn't eat M&M's, Snickers, and Oreos (like any of us do). I could not understand where Nabisco and Mars were connected...then I found this link.

I had not heard about this one, but this morning I saw a report about a recall of instant flavored coffees and tea. Here is a link to that one:

Wow! I don't eat any dairy at all so it wouldn't affect me, but that's scary stuff!

dd,

That first link has expired. The other two say there have been no tainted foods from China entering the US. I'm wondering if those M&M's and Snickers were produced overseas or here. I hope it's not the latter 'cause I eat Snickers regularly and M&M's occassionally. Are Celiacs not supposed to? Nobody told me, I'm always the last to know. As far as I was aware, there are no wheat ingredients listed on the label. Please correct me otherwise.

best regards, lm

Larry...M&M's and SNickers are gluten free..don't worry about that part! Not sure why that site says it is expired, it's till there.

Here's the link, and what it says:

Oreo, Snickers, and M&M's May Contain Melamine?

[home-based-mom]

And, another link from the FDA about melamine:

And here is a quote from the page the above link goes to:

King Car Food Industrial Co. used a non-dairy creamer manufactured by Shandong Duqing Inc., China, which was found to be contaminated with melamine.

That opens up a whole new category of contaminated possibilities.

dd, Thanks for the link. I enjoyed it immensley. It also led me to some other great places.

I ranted on China during the pet food crises, and got a lot of grief and anti-US ramblings in return. I tend to forget that even though this forum is made up of mostly American members, there are also people here from all over the world, even France.

That's why I try to be more tactful now . Don't go borrowing trouble. That's what my Dad used to tell me. Damn, wished I had listened to him more.

Well....unfortunately a lot of US Pharmaceutical companies use raw materials

from China.....and I often wonder about who's watching the materiels?
