Cadbury recalls Chinese chocolate British chocolate-maker Cadbury is recalling its Chinese-made products over fears of possible contamination. Cadbury officials did not say whether traces of melamine had been found in the firm's products, but said tests had "cast doubt" on their safety. The firm is recalling products in mainland China as well as Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia. In Jakarta, the Food and Drug Monitoring Agency said on Monday that it had found traces of melamine in chocolate and biscuit products apparently made in China by Kraft Foods and Mars. The two companies said they were investigating the claims, although their products had earlier been cleared of melamine tainting. Some reports raised the possibility the products - including Oreo wafers, M&Ms and Snickers - could be counterfeit. (BBC NEWS / ASIA-PACIFIC, 09/29/2008)

Asia Food Tainting Spreads, Leading to Recall in U.S. In Hong Kong, Heinz Foods this week recalled its vegetable formula baby cereal after some samples of it tested positive for melamine. In Taiwan, Pizza Hut said it had found cheese packets similarly contaminated. Officials in Macao, a Chinese territory, said Friday that the chemical had turned up in koala-shaped cookies made by a Japanese-owned company.(New York Times, 09/27/2008)

Melamine found in four Marudai products OSAKA (Kyodo) The health authority in Osaka Prefecture said Friday that the toxic substance melamine has been found in four of the six food products sold by Marudai Food Co. The four products are Kurimu Panda, Guratan Kurepu Kon, Matcha Azuki Mirukuman and Kurimu Panda for commercial use.(The Japan Times, 09/27/2008)

Heinz recalls 270 cases of baby food in Hong Kong The H.J. Heinz Co. moved yesterday to recall 270 cases of a variety of baby food sold in Hong Kong that had trace amounts of melamine. The product called Heinz Intelligence Many Many Vegetable Cereal was found to have 1.6 mg/kg, a level much lower than the 2,500 mg/kg that the company said had been found in some milk products in China. New legislation in Hong Kong sets a limit for melamine of 1 mg/kg for children under 3 years old.(Pittsburgh Post gazette, 09/27/2008)

EU bans baby food with Chinese milk, recalls grow In the southern Chinese territory of Macau, authorities found melamine in samples of a popular chocolate-filled Koala-shaped cookie made by Lotte China Foods Co. Tests found melamine in the cookies were at levels 24 times the safety limit, the Macau government reported. The company is a member of Tokyo-based conglomerate Lotte Group. The candy is still on sale in some stores in Beijing, and there has been no public announcement of a nationwide recall from China's safety watchdog. A woman who works at the propaganda department of the quality body, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said that she did not know of White Rabbit candy being recalled in China. She did not give her name, as is common with officials in China. The watchdog issued a recall list on Sept. 16 for 69 batches of milk powder made by 22 companies. The only other recall list was on Sept. 19 for liquid milk. (USA Today, 09/25/2008)
