If you let your kids eat cheap chinese chocolate from dollar stores, or discount places this year you may be poisoning them with melamine or some other crap.

Do you have that much faith in the government that all this stuff is being screened? I sure as hell don't.

Pirate's Gold milk chocolate coins may be contaminated with melamine



OTTAWA - The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning the public not to eat, distribute or sell Sherwood brand Pirate's Gold milk chocolate coins imported from China.


The candy is being recalled after testing positive for the industrial chemical melamine. Canada doesn't allow its use as a food ingredient.

The candy is sold in 840-gram containers containing 240 pieces per container. They bear the designation UPC 0 36077 11240 7 and the lot code 1928S1.


The candy is sold across Canada by Costco and may also have been sold in bulk packages or as individual pieces at various dollar and bulk stores across Canada.


CFIA says that if the original product identity and UPC code is not evident, consumers should check with their retailer to determine if they have the affected product.


Retailers and importers have been asked to remove the candy from sale. There have been no reported illnesses associated with the candy in this country.


Although the health risk associated with these products is considered low, the federal advisory was issued after an investigation into milk and milk-derived products from China that may have reached Canadian store shelves.

Thanks for this PB....My kids love to get those gold coins....It says the health risk associated with these are considered low, but my 5 yearold was a preemie and always gets sick easier and 3 times worse than a full term baby. He has only started in the past year and a half or so getting stronger, but I'm still protective. So thanks.

A lot of dollar store food products are from China but then so are a lot of the products sold in the grocery. Check your labels to see where it comes from. Frozen fish at Wallie World and Tarjay are mostly from China. (have you read about their polluted waters?)
I have to beware of all chocolate :sad:
