So I received an email from a concerned friend telling me what milk-based products on the market were and weren't safe for consumption, owing to the melamine contamination from China. The good news is that only one tested positive while 34 others supposedly tested negative.
The bad news? Well, the bad news is...given the names of some of these products, I'm not sure they should be eaten in the first place. The names are just so...strange.
From this list, my favorites have got to be Barbie Milk Candy (I feel perversely turned on), Call and Text Candy (by Smart Plastic Mfg. -- name aside, what is a plastic company doing selling candy?), and Red Bull Skimmed Milk Powder (guaranteed to keep you up?)
List follows. What can I say? Enjoy, and stay melamine-free!

ReplyDeletePersonally, I make it a point of not buying food if I can't understand what's written on it. :)
