Is nothing safe?? BY LOCAL PRODUCE!!!

By: James Burge

Ok, so I’ve made 2 posts already on the preceved threat of high levels of Melamine in various Chineese made candies and food products.  The problem is, Melamine is also added to animal feed, that means that now eggs have been contaminated with Melamine. The AP article goes on to say that very little research has been done because Melamine contamination due to leaching isn’t very common and wouldn’t be expected to create high enough levels for any adverse effects.  Were it not for Chinese maufacturers deliberately adding the toxic chemical there wouldn’t have been a risk to consumers.

But while scientists say it’s not dangerous to ingest small amounts, they cannot be definitive because there have been no tests on melamine’s effects in humans. Until the contaminated baby formula became public in September, there was never any reason to.

So I’ve found a list of products that have been tested and found to be safe, the only problem is, its for Malaysia. But hey its what I was looking for.
