HARTFORD, Conn. -- The Department of Consumer Protection warned consumers Wednesday not to eat "White Rabbit Creamy Candy," imported from China and distributed by Queensway Foods Company Inc. of Burlingame, Calif.

The candy was found on several Connecticut store shelves the week of Sept. 29 by agency food safety inspectors and removed, agency Commissioner Jerry Farrell Jr. said. Tests by the Connecticut Agriculture Experiment Station Laboratory have determined that the product contains melamine, he said.

Melamine has been associated recently with contaminated infant formula and other milk protein-containing products in China, as well as a major pet food recall last year. The chemical is used in plastics manufacturing and as an adulterant in foods to simulate protein.

2. Shit! Why do we import ANY food from China of all places?

We learn from nothing, right?

Fuck the Chinese pigs. They don't have standards they don't give a fuck about anyone's health.
Let's screw their ecomomy by simply not buying their crap.

4. Has anyone heard about Whey Protein being suspect

I remember reading a few days ago that there was some concern about Whey Protein Manufacturers using Whey from China.
