FDA Updates Health Information Advisory On Melamine Contamination
28 Sep 2008
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is alerting consumers that seven Mr. Brown instant coffee and milk tea products manufactured in China are being recalled by the King Car Food Industrial Co. Ltd. due to possible contamination with melamine. The products, manufactured by China's Shandong Duqing Inc., are:
- Mr. Brown Mandheling Blend Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
- Mr. Brown Arabica Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
- Mr. Brown Blue Mountain Blend Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
- Mr. Brown Caramel Macchiato Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
- Mr. Brown French Vanilla Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
- Mr. Brown Mandhling Blend instant Coffee (2-in-1)
- Mr. Brown Milk Tea (3-in-1)
The FDA recommends that consumers not consume any of the above Mr. Brown instant coffee and milk tea products. The FDA also recommends that retailers and foodservice operators remove the products from sale or service.
As of September 25, 2008, the FDA testing of milk based products imported into the United States from China has not found melamine contamination.
The FDA is working with regulatory agencies in other countries. The New Zealand Food Safety Authority reports that its testing of White Rabbit Creamy Candies has shown melamine contamination at high levels. In light of the widespread contamination of milk and milk-based products in China and the New Zealand Food Safety Authority's finding, the FDA recommends that consumers not eat White Rabbit Creamy Candy and that retailers and foodservice operations remove the product from sale or service. To date, the FDA is not aware of any illnesses in the United States stemming from consumption of either White Rabbit Creamy Candy or the Mr. Brown instant coffee and milk tea products.

Ping!
For those who’d like to see what the product packaging looks like:

Why does any company or country rely upon China for their food supply?
They are dirt cheap. We now know that it is not just because of cheap labor, doesn’t we?
Rule of thumb: NEVER eat toxic waste “food” imported from China.
The problem is that much of this is hidden by unscrupulous retailers and manufacturers. Especially (believe it or not) in HEALTH FOOD!.
Chinese apple juice is commonly secretly added as “natural” sweeteners. Also beware of dried fruits. And some of the cheap shrimp, basa, and other seafood you eat in restaurants is raised in human and industrial waste in China.
I won’t ever go back to Trader Joe’s for this reason.
What is so surprising HERE that they dump their waste Melamine into food stuffs? Christ if that bubbling GOO comes into THIS country it should receive a huge skull and crossbones like the very nasty industrial chemicals do!
Then I wonder what is in something named, “Mr. Brown”.
Dittos to that !!!!!
Damn! My son drinks this all the time.
How old is he?
31, why?
I was just trying to find out if you were talking about a child or an adult.
