The unreported melamine story

[Guest guest]

I do not trust it is any different from their same products sold

here. We drifted away from strictly Green Halloween this year a tad

but and now has gone into the garbage. Not that I hadn't confiscated

most candy in past years anyway, but now it's critical.

> What you are not being told

>

> 1. Asian countries are pulling western " brand name " products from

their shelves.

>

> 2. In contrast, the US has only pulled a few Asian-made products

that have already been identified by Asian regulators as being

contaminated.

>

> 3. So far, the FDA appears to have done NOTHING to track and test

the products of US food manufacturers that imported TWO MILLION

POUNDS of milk powder from China in the past year.

>

> 4. Melamine contamination is NOT limited to infant formula in

China.

>

> It has been found in candies, cakes, cookies, crackers,

coffee/dairy combinations, and egg powder in countries all over the

world including the US and Switzerland.

>

> 5. Melamine is an industrial product, not a legal food additive,

and often comes with other highly dangerous toxins.

>

> 6. Melamine-contaminated products have caused injury and death to

thousands of small children and infants in China.

>

> 7. Injuries and illnesses caused by melamine-contaminated products

will show up weeks, months and even later in older children and

adults in the form of kidney stones and kidney failure.

>

> Note: The New York Times recently reported (10/29/080) on an

epidemic of kidney stones in children and attributed it to " salt. "

>

> Why you should be outraged

>

> * The federal government knows EXACTLY what companies imported

these raw materials

>

> * These importers know EXACTLY what US food manufacturers they sold

these materials too

>

> * The manufacturers know EXACTLY what batches they put this

material in and EXACTLY what stores they shipped these potentially

contaminated products too.

>

> * If alerted, the retailers could pull the products from their

shelves today.

>

> And none of them - not the FDA, not the food manufacturers, not the

retailers, not the Bush administration - are doing anything to

protect the public.

>

> In fact, they are deliberately NOT releasing this public domain

information - gathered with tax payers dollars - to the public.

>

> And, of course, US news media is completely silent.
