Recalling Made in China Milk Products....

URGENT MESSAGE
to everyone,

If you guys read the news on the newspaper recently, the Sanlu Milk product for babies is contaminated with Melamine. Later on, AVA Singapore did an analysis on the imported products and found out that some other food products imported from China also contain Melamine.

Below are some of the products available in Malaysia and are being recalled. Please do not consume them if you have it at home.

M&M's
Snickers
Mentos yoghurt bottle
Dove choc
Oreo Wafer sticks
Monmilk
Dutchlady sterilised milk (The contaminated ones are not available in Malaysia)
Wall's all natural mango ice-cream
Wall's Mini poppers ice-cream
Wall's Magnum ice-cream
Wall's Moonsandwich ice-cream
Wall's Mini Cornetto ice-cream
Youcan ice-cream

To know more about the effects and dangers of Melamine, refer to this information from US Food and Drug Administration - Interim Melamine and Analogues Safety/Risk Assessment.

Here are a few important quotes from the FDA Risk Assessment:

"The observed toxic effects of melamine on animals in controlled studies only occur following high dose exposures"

"The most commonly observed effects in animal experiments where melamine was administered orally include: reduced food consumption, body weight loss, bladder stones, crystalluria, epithelial hyperplasia of urinary bladder, and lowered survival rate. However, no kidney failure or clinical symptoms of kidney failure were observed from these studies, including in a dog study."

Please inform your family and friends regarding this matter. And please don't worry too much if you've consumed these products because worrying will make you sicker - false positive results. Just be calm. As mentioned above, only in high dose exposure, you'll see the effects. Thank you.
