The photo you see here is of White Rabbit Candy. It’s made in China and has been found to contain melamine. Packages have been found in the U.S. in California and Connecticut so far.
We know Cadbury has some confections that are made in China and has recalled their products. But it doesn’t hurt to be aware of where your food items are actually being manufactured. You may want to look at packaged soups and other powdered items too.
The linked article regarding Cadbury may say samples were within “legal limits,” but if you are pregnant or suffering from an illness, and consume an industrial chemical, being within legal limits isn’t something you want to hear. That’s not acceptable when you are dealing with a chemical that has hundreds of thousands of children sick, and several dead, in China.
"Candy lovers beware. Melamine-tainted candy — imported from China — is now showing up on store shelves in the United States.
Officials in California and Connecticut confirm they have found White Rabbit Creamy Candy contaminated with melamine in their states.The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection said the tainted candy was primarily found in Asian markets. But officials warn the contaminated candy could be on store shelves nationwide.
Melamine is the chemical at the heart of the Chinese-milk scandal, which is blamed for the deaths of four babies and the illnesses of more than 53,000 other children in that country."
