FDA finds more melamine in food products from China
The FDA has once again found melamine in two milk products made in China. Sold in Asian grocery stores in New York, the products YILI Brand Sour Milk Drink and YILI Brand Pure Milk Drink have been recalled by distributor HUA XIA Food Trade USA of Flushing, N.Y. The drinks are packaged in 250-ml flexible paperboard boxes. The Sour Milk Drink container has blue, red, and green Chinese writing and a picture of an Asian man in a green shirt and white tie clapping his hands. The Pure Milk Drink has black, red, and white English and Chinese writing, with a picture of two cows playing basketball.
Certain Mr. Brown instant coffee and tea products sold in the United States have also been recently recalled because of possible contamination with melamine. Melamine contamination of infant formula has resulted in a major public health problem in China, where thousands of children have been diagnosed with kidney stones related to the contamination. The FDA has said that it has not yet found infant formula in the U.S. contaminated with melamine.
The FDA lists all products which have been recalled due to detection of melamine.
