As this problem continues to roll along, here is a melamine contaminated food list plucked from the latest news results on the subject:

* Powdered baby milk.
* HK finds melamine in Chinese-made cheesecake.
* Cookies With Melamine Found in Netherlands.
* Mr Brown coffee products.
* Manufacturing giant Unilever recalls melamine tainted tea.
* Melamine Detected in Two More Ritz Snacks.

There is a bit more. I'm not sure how this breaks down as far as paragraph limits go given the format.

In any event, please pay attention to this information. :scared:

35. BUT! Before all of us Panic...How many of these products were sold in USA???

Aren't all of them US Manufacturing Names who were doing manufacturing in China with Chinese Products selling them THERE...and NOT, USA? :shrug:

[Betsy Ross]

3. The distribution locations are given for some products.

But not all. Many products are manufactured in different locations for different markets making it difficult for consumers to identify products which may be contaminated.

[Indenturedebtor]

4. Bleh. It's going to be in pretty much everything they manufacture

Melamine comes from the pesticides they use.

[ekwhite]

57. Actually, it is mainly used in plastics manufacturing

Melamine resin is a common plastic used to make whiteboards, countertops, fabrics, glues, and other materials. Here is an article from wikipedia on Melamine.

[tblue37]

63. It's being put into food products on purpose, because the presence

of melamine artificially boosts the apparent protein content. It's a way to boost profits.

One thing the Chinese government does differently than our government, though, is that when they catch the perpetrators, they execute them, instead of wagging a finger at them and telling them to go forth and sin no more.

Of course, in the US, the guilty parties just launder a bit more money and pour it into the campaign coffers (or even the personal bank accounts) of the politicians or regulatory agents. Then they rename their company and start the whole cycle all over again.

[demnan]

5. In the Pets Forum there's a post about Petromalt for cats

possibly being contaminated too.

[CountAllVotes]

6. yes, that was me

I've been researching this stuff. Those familiar with some of my posts likely know that once I get on a topic, I don't drop it for quite some time. This is one of them as I lost a dog I had adopted 2 years ago. I never knew exactly why the dog got so sick but it was very upsetting and she had been eating a brand of dog food that was recalled more than once prior to me getting the dog.

So, yes, watch out for Petromalt - used for hairballs in cats. The maker of it sold it to another company recently and the price of it has dropped dramatically I noticed. Post can be found in the Pets forum the tile of which is Petromalt.

And now, there are alleged to be 50,000 sick infants in China - this is likely an inaccurate figure I strongly suspect. I believe that perhaps as many as 10X this amount of children have been affected and can only hope I am wrong.

Thank you for your attention.

51. Had Something Weird Happen To My Dog About 10 Days Ago...

I have a chocolate lab, and labs are FAMOUS for eating almost anything. We've always fed her Science Diet even during the hoopla about animal food scare was going on. I'm very careful about watching her weight and when she turned 3 years old I started her on the "light" brand. She just turned four and has rarely ever vomited. I needed to buy more food for her and when Pet Supermarket was out of the light brand I just bought the regular. She ate it for about three days and then started throwing up quite a few times. I thought she might have eaten something outside that we didn't know about, but then she actually refused to eat the Science Diet food. I gave her some home cooked food and she ate that, but refused to eat the Science Diet food. So I ran to the store and bought some Beneful (sp) and she ate that just fine.

Ultimately, she started acting lethargic and she had a fever so I took to the vet. I took a stool sample, had blood work done AND they x-rayed her. The x-ray showed she had inflammation in her stomach and the vet prescribed medication for her. Since he's cared for her since she was a puppy he knows what we feed her and we all felt she must have eaten something we were unaware of. I told him about the light versus regular and he didn't feel that was the problem. Some people have told me this might have been the problem.

While I can understand the switch might upset her stomach, I'm not sure the switch would cause an actual inflammation. So now I'm beginning to wonder if the animal food is contaminated again. I didn't keep the 40lb bag it came in so I was out quite a few dollars not only for the cost of the food, but around $300.00 to the vet.

She's fine now, but I'm beginning to feel alarmed again.

67. Science Diet

Veterinarians and even animal shelters are paid hefty amounts to push Science Diet pet foods. I've never had a dog/cat yet that liked it.

I was given a free bag of it when I adopted my most recent kitten (now a cat) from the local shelter and none of my cats would eat it. That right there should tell a person something. If an animal won't eat a certain type of food, something must be wrong with it I believe.

The woman I met up with that had all of the cats couldn't afford expensive food and she feeds them Purina Cat Chow. She happens to go to the same vet I go to and he told her that if she couldn't afford Science Diet that Purina was the next best choice.

I still don't know what to think (I do not feed my cats Purina Cat Chow however) but I'm glad your dog is better now. Keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms. This whole thing makes me really sad, disgusted, and frightened as well.

I believe that it has obviously "trickled down" alright - trickled down to the human food chain. It was probably there before is my belief but no one discovered it until the pet food crisis became a reality. Some people sadly eat pet foods. What a sad way to go out in this life - having a can of cat food for dinner. :puke:

[Blue Gardener]

70. My two cats got horrible diarrhea from Science Diet

Formula for indoor cats. I switched to Pet Promise and the problem cleared right up. No more Science Diet in my house.

[awoke_in_2003]

50. It is my ardent hope

that Ceiling Cat and Basement Cat team up and kick some Chinese manufacturing ass :)

[Ron Green]

7. But...but...but... won't the Free Market take care of all this?

:crazy:

[aquart]

9. It is. The free market regulates by death.

When there are sufficient deaths to terrify people from buying a product, its profitability goes down and it is removed from shelves.

The point of government regulation is to remove the product BEFORE the deaths not after.

[glitch]

42. Exactly.

At some point the morons will stop treating the free market as Gospel. Still waiting for that, after all these years.

Amazing.

[catgirl]

8. This is going to get much bigger

[Lydia Leftcoast]

10. Why is anyone in Europe or North America importing powdered milk from CHINA?

China has NO dairy products in its traditional diet.

Are they that much cheaper than traditional sources of dairy products, like, oh, I don't know, most of Europe and North America?

The moral of this story is, "You get what you pay for."

[Night_Nurse]

16. Another reason not to shop at WalMart...

I mean, isn't most of their stuff "made in China"?

12. Holly Shit!!!!!!!!!!

How can I sort the China junk from the non-China Junk ? :scared:

[CountAllVotes]

17. my experience re: this

I had to call up several places to find the company itself and query them about their product. Where was it made? Where are the INGREDIENTS from?

You would not know is the answer. It is highly elusive from what I've found. In the case of Petromalt is says Made in the USA but the company named says it is in Canada. When I finally got a hold of them they said they were in Texas!

However, they knew something was amiss w/Petromalt and did not state why this product had been sold to another well-known company. Price is now about 1/2 of what it once was I've noted. That right there is the "tip" IMO, especially the way prices on everything have been going up so fast.

Luckily I ran into that old woman that had owned up to 17 cats at one time and she told me about it. Otherwise, I'd have never suspected how this whole scenario actually works. I'd say almost anything that is "made" requiring specific ingredients is suspect, esp. being melanine is an "odorless, powder" of sorts with a protein content.

I don't trust them, that is for certain.

:dem:

[glinda]

47. Full Circle Organics

once told me when I emailed them, that if their product is not marked made in the USA then it could be made elsewhere. Thanks but no thanks is what I said to them and they pawn themselves off as organic.

[FirstLight]

13. Okay...so I just pulled the Ritz crackers from my pantry

My mom is saying...that just happened, it wouldn't be in what you bought last month, last week, etc..

I don't care when they found it - it could have been in our food MUCH longer than we have known

...and I went on the recall site (recall.gov)
and found the generic oatmeal from our local grocer is recalled...i called the store but the manager wasn't in, I nhave to try back later to see if he has pulled the items
And I am in a remote, rural area...so this shit is everywhere. I just want to throw away all cereal, crackers, hot cocoa, etc and go back to making everything from scratch... BUT - is my freaking FLOUR safe?

i am pissed and terrified at the same time

[CountAllVotes]

18. link re: Ritz crackers

Seems it was "Ritz Bitz" and I found this link re: this:

Two more snack items have been found to contain the harmful chemical melamine.

The Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) said Tuesday that Ritz Bits Cracker Sandwiches Cheese, made by Navisco Food Suzhou and imported by Dongsuh Foods, and ``gosohan ssalgwaja'' (tasty rice snack), made by a Chinese company Danyang Day Bright Foods and imported by Hwatong & Babanggeu, were also found to contain melamine.

A melamine concentration of 23.3 parts-per-million (ppm) was detected in Ritz crackers, while one of 1.77 ppm was found in the rice snack.

So far six snacks have been confirmed to be tainted with the toxic chemical, including ``Misarang Coconut'' and ``Misarang Custard'' from Haitai Confectionary, ``Milk Rusk'' from J&J International, Hong Kong, and coffee creamer by Yuchang F.C.

[FirstLight]

22. After following the links and checking out things

It really seems that there is NO definitive knowledge from any of these yutz' yet. I followed the websites for three items in my pantry, followed their websites, filled in the consumer form and asked WHERE DO YOU BUY THIS STUFF FROM??? (wheat gluten, powdered milk products, corn and soy powder, etc)

Let's see how fast they get back to me!

I told them I was a VERY concerned MOM!! Meanwhile, I am banning my kids from eating the crap their grandma buys "cheap at wally world" until I know it is "safe" and that may mean it will NEVER be safe!

shitshitshit, i HATE not knowing where my food comes from!


god, that means I may have to be double careful at the grocery outlet, or maybe not go there at all. Just when money gets tight, this shit happens. If I were wearing a tin hat, I'd think it is an easy way to "off" the low income factor in society!

[CountAllVotes]

28. I'll wear a tinfoil hat on that one too

I think you are right!

After all it is the have nots that do not belong to the "base" so therefore, they cannot accomplish "their mission".

:dem: :kick:

[conflictgirl]

23. Does anyone know if this includes the Ritz Bits sold in the US, or only overseas?

I know that even the same brands are often made in manufacturing plants more local to where they're sold. I am getting increasingly wary of ANY packaged foods because it's hard to know where it was made and the USDA is not on our side in this. They just finally got around to implementing country of origin labeling (COOL) and there are so many loopholes pushed for by industry that it's not going to help us much. For example, COOL rules don't require as much definition of origin for any mixed-ingredient product, like a frozen blend of peas and carrots or...pet food. :(

[ekwhite]

58. Under the new FDA rules, the rice snack would be acceptable

FDA will now allow up to 2.5 PPM melamine in foods.

25. I bought some cake flour last week. It smelled like formaldehyde.

Cake flour has a higher glutton or protein content to make your cakes fluffier. I didn't use it but I called the company and told them about it. The company out of LA of course claimed it was just fine and dandy to use and that it didn't go near China.

The really weird thing about the flour from Swans Down was that the packaging didn't smell funny at all, just the flour.

[Castleman]

26. As far as candy goes...

you can count on any candy from Annabelle Candy of hayward, CA. They make UNO bars, Abba-Zabba, Rocky Road, LOOK! and Big Hunk candy, and they are fanatical about buying only American made ingredients. They're safe, and 100% USA made, as is all Palmer holiday themed chocolates. Virtually EVERYTHING from Hershey's is sourced using whatever's cheapest so STAY AWAY! MasterFoods/M&M also uses some foreign sources as does Nestle. I understand that everything from the Tootsie Roll company is 100% USA sourced, but can't confirm, and you're pretty safe with anything from Necco as well.
Might this not be a good time to visit your LOCALLY made chocolatier? If you live in Washington State, you've got Dilletante, Fran's and Boehm's, which are all delicious and locally sourced.

[llmart]

48. Didn't we used to eat off of that stuff.....

back in the 60's? I think I had Melamine dishes.

[cui bono]

54. Wow. I never realized... I have some dishes that I think are made from that.

They're a set I bought about 20 years ago when I was into kitsch stuff. I've always kept them for extras and because they're unbreakable and use them from time to time. Yikes!

I just checked them:
"A BRANCHELL melmac product - finest quality"

Hmmm...

[louis-t]

65. You're thinking of Melmac.

But wonder what is in that type of plastic. I think I've heard you shouldn't use Melmac in a micro.

[llmart]

71. From Wikipedia......

Melmac (brand), a brand name of dinnerware molded from melamine resin

[louis-t]

78. Yep, asked my Mom last night.

She said same.

[llmart]

82. You must be too young to remember...

My first set of dishes when I got married in 1969 were Orange Melmac:) And, yep, I had an avocado refrigerator in my apartment. Tee hee. I'm dating myself.

[louis-t]

84. Are you kidding? I ate off Melmac most of my life. I'm 52.

I just didn't know the plastic was melamine. We had blue-green color. I had an avocado Westinghouse washer from the '60's until 2 years ago, just like the white one my Mom had in the '60's. Paid 80 bucks for it in 1990 and never put a dime into it. It finally gave out 2 months before I sold my house. Bought a new one and sold it with the house. Bought a house with appliances included, washer was 5 years old when it died. On my 4th washer in 2 years. Oh, and Mom still has the Melmac.

[Hekate]

32. Kicked, Recc'd, and Bookmarked

We could see this coming

[CountAllVotes]

34. Contamination of pet food: Tip of the iceberg ...

I saw it coming too. When the pet food thing happened I said that in fact and was laughed at and told I was crazy.

I've been closely monitoring labels on food since the late 1980s pretty much. I practiced macrobiotics for awhile and this practice forces one to read labels like it or not.

However, the odd thing slips through now and then as is the case with Petromalt.

This practice of adding melanine is being done deliberately. I found that it is expected to find melamine in animal feed from China. That means that the cow/chicken, whatever, also has melamine in them too.

It is a good way for the Chinese to get rid of their toxic waste products - melamine - by dumping it into the food supply. The unwitting consumer simply grazes away at this junk with no question in their mind.

This is dangerous, very dangerous no doubt.

How soon will it be before someone here in the USA dies of melamine poisoning? How many have died already I wonder?

[CountAllVotes]

37. Update:

I just heard on the news from late last night that the government has determined that melanine found in foods is for the most part safe given the amounts being found.

Uh huh.

Can you believe this? I call it cover your ass FDA!
:dem:

[tom_paine]

59. Well the primary functions of Bushie Regulators is to protect Corpoations from harm and also,

to keep people from knowing when we ae being poisoned, or if we happen to find out that we are being poisoned, to keep us from finding out how badly.

Wouldn't surprise me (not that I am saying I am certain of it or anything, far from it...this is speculation only) if the Bushies were working with the Chinese at the highest levels to put melamine in our food chain.

IF this is the case (quite a big IF), melamine is probably already in the Chinese Food Supply, and for the same reason it is in the Amerikan Food Supply...some chemical property of melamine desirable to the tyrants who run these countries when consumed in massive quantities by the peasantry.

Yes, yes, I know it's a bit :tinfoilhat: and as I said, it is idle speculation only.

But, what, do you think the high morality of Bushie and Chinese Authoritarians would prevent them from undertaking this deeply immoral act?

:rofl:

[Tindalos]

38. That's scary.

Thanks for posting this information. Some of my favourite snacks are on that list.

I just threw out a Cadbury chocolate bar and chocolate covered cookies that I bought on sale last week. I bet the store knew about the recall
and was trying to unload them before everyone found out. I know they say the problem is limited to certain areas, but I don't trust them. So much of our
food is imported, there's no telling where all the individual ingredients came from anymore.

[tblue37]

64. You should not throw that crap out. You

should take it back to the store and demand a refund. If it costs them money, they are less likely to pull that stunt again, whereas if their plan to unload it before the news becomes public ends up paying off, they won't learn their lesson.

[womanofthehills]

39. China is world's leading supplier of food dyes, additives, citric acid

So even if it's not made in China - many of the ingredients are imported from China. All the bottled ice teas that I drink have citric acid and I recently ready that most of the citric acid is produced in China so I went on the web for a safety data sheet on citric acid and it contains ppms of heavy metals and other toxic chemicals. I sure bet the US is not checking how high the contaminate levels in citric acid are when it's imported. Citric acid is in so many items. I guess I'll make my own ice tea from now on. If I buy organic iced tea, is the citric acid from China?

Someone was talking about their M & M's - even if they are made here they are probably made with food dyes and vanillin from China. An article in the LA times said that China
has become the world's leading supplier of citric acid, sorbic acid,vanillin, xylitol, and folic acid. The LA times article said - U S companies don't always know when their food ingredients originate from because of complex networks of traders and brokers.

44. Cadbury products in US are made in US

Cadbury products sold in the US are made in the US and Canada under license by Hershey Chocolate. Hershey insists it does not use any Chinese dairy products in anything it makes.

[Castleman]

55. Hershey lies, they lie

their Cadbury stuff is all made in their Mexico plant that they opened last year. The very same one they shut down their Northern California plant for! And laid off about 100 people I personally know! Hershey CANNOT be trusted.
However, for those of you close to our fine neighbor to the north, Purdy's and Rogers chocolate is all 100% Canadian supplied and manufactured. With the exception of the beans obviously....:-)

[JPZenger]

72. My mistake

Yes, Hershey is moving much production to Mexico and has closed many plants in the US and Canada. It was my own mistake, not the company's, to leave out Mexico. The company's statement did say they use no Chinese dairy products in any Hershey products.

49. anything in the states yet?

hopefully it'll leave the stuff out of the apple juice. most generic apple juice comes from China. :( although certainly if I was constipated, drinking a 2 liter bottle of the stuff should soften things up :P

[PATRICK]

60. Most apple juice

seems to originate from Chinese concentrates. Plastic bottles seem to have to label country of origin. Other containers don't seem to have that requirement. Mott's uses Chinese juice, all store brands, most popular brands. Those who brag they are USA are the only ones you can be sure of for ANY fruit juice except our california and Florida oranges. Grapes from Latin America, Turkey. Most canned fruit and a lot of canned everything especially tuna is processed in Thailand. Organic juices are "certified" from foreign nations like Turkey as well. "Concord" or Niagara grapes apparently can be grown anywhere and can for some mysterious reason be so preferred to American grapes for such exotic things as processed food and drink boxes that our palate might prefer imported concentrates from Africa and Turkey.

Even the gd OJ is starting to get imported irrationally from other countries. I doubt the concern for freshness and seasonal crops is the only reason we are dieseling foreign concentrates thousands of miles
from countries as trustworthy as China. What exactly is the sanity of destroying world energy resources in transportation, ruining nutritional value, diluting world health standards, crumbling local food subsistence and small farms, pooling tainted additives into all global products, and on and on. How does this benefit anyone in the craziest aspect of global economic "business"? It is wasteful, dangerous and on the face of it fundamentally insane even if- eventually in Global Utopia- all standards are met everywhere for saftey and all the ill economic effects and waste are miraculously.... what?... self-regulated???? Of course, once established, any failure of a global system means the entire failure of the food network whether by poisoning, malnutrition or simple starvation.

Anyone for a cup of sanity?

73. Some people here call me a China basher

I have posted a few articles about this Melamine contamination very recently. I have also posted these pictures on DU and show them in my Journal. After reading the OP, or any of my threads, and looking at the pictures below, ANYONE who thinks China deserves our sympathy and doesn't deserve our condemnation, HAS to be A Reich-Winger. Our dependence on cheap shit made in china or made for use in products made elsewhere MUST end. And does anyone here remember the HUGE drug scandal this year (Tainted Drugs Tied to Maker of Abortion Pill) http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/31/world/asia/31pharma.html, or the contaminated blood thinner heparin from China that injured HUNDREDS and has caused MANY deaths (Contaminant found in China-linked blood thinner)
http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/03/06/business/06heparin.php

Routine tests failed to distinguish the contaminant from the drug, heparin. Only sophisticated magnetic resonance imaging tests uncovered that as much as 20 percent of the product's active ingredient was a heparin mimic blended in with the real thing.

79. "Koala" brand and Nabisco Ritz cracker cheese sandwiches (made in China)

The Dutch Food Safety Authority said Tuesday the chestnut and chocolate flavored cookies from the "Koala" brand are now off the market because of their melamine concentration.

New melamine-tainted products are being announced on an almost daily basis.

In South Korea, officials say the chemical was found in Nabisco Ritz cracker cheese sandwiches and in rice crackers made by the Chinese company, Danyang Day.

80. A more detailed list:

http://www.nowpublic.com/health/recalled-melamine-milk-products-list-ongoing

"We are still waiting for the WHO or some other health organization to release a comprehensive list of all recalled products tainted with melamine, but until then here is an updated list compiled from various sources on the internet. Products will be added and removed here as updates occur....

While many of the brands listed below are available worldwide, so far it appears that only Asian products are affected - therefore if you live in Europe or North America, your Snickers bar is probably safe to eat. For now.
