Thank you. My son was just talking to us the other night about not eating the candy made in China.
 
Thanks for posting that! My daughter asked for those at the drugstore on Sunday night and I told her no. I am so glad that I did.
 
I don't understand why we import anything from China after all the problems we have had with their products. We need to stop trade with them and think of our kids and the public.
 
This is pretty scary stuff. Thanks for the heads up...I had no clue about this.
 
oh we got those , too.....hopefully they are melanil free....they found some stuff contaminated with Melanil GErmany, too...but so far only in Asian stores...I will be really selective this year with the candy I buy
 
Omg I used to always eat those chocolate coin things!
I didnt know they contained metamine!
 
it´s just this one brand....Jeff just posted the better brand and I´m sure there are other brands as well
 
:hello: You have to stay "in the know" these days. I get regular emails at work which I circulate for awareness sake involving food and toy and product recalls and warnings.

I receive three a day minimum.
 
UPDATE!

Sherwood Brands has put out a statement here...
Notice to our Customers regarding the Safety of our Candy Products Imported from China to the USA.
The safety of our products is our first priority. Customers can be assured that we have an unwavering commitment to test and assure the safety of all our products. Please note that we have not had any products containing melamine recalled in the U.S. Immediately upon the issuance of a warning by FDA about possible melamine contamination in milk-containing products from China we began to work with independent labs to confirm our products are free of melamine. Additionally, Sherwood Brands has not received any chocolate in the U.S. from China since the report on melamine. We understand that any product that may contain milk or milk proteins is being tested upon entry by the FDA. If you have questions, please email us at sales@sherwoodbrands.com.
If you are concerned about the coins recalled in Canada, please note this was an isolated situation in Canada only. These coins were not sold or shipped into the US market. Those coins were produced before the melamine warning was issued. Immediately upon notification of Melamine warning, Sherwood stopped all production and shipments. All products now shipped to both Canada and the United States are first tested for the absence of melamine prior to shipment.
Thank you for your understanding. Above all our #1 concern is our customer safety and satisfaction.

Snopes has updated the story as well...
"Sherwood Brands says those of its chocolate coins that contain Melamine were vended only in Canada, that none of those confections reached the U.S."
