Someone asked about the Pizza Hut cheese that was recalled.  It was recalled in Taiwan according to Menusux's post on Sept. 26, 2007, at 8:40 a.m. in the 35+ page "Melamine Suspected..." thread in the "Recall (Non Pet Food) heading.

As more and more countries test and ban these "milk" products, I think we'll learn quite a bit more about where this poison has been shipped and just how many products are affected.  The list continues to grow.

The best thing to do is buy single ingredients in their most natural, unprocessed form and cook from scratch.  Make item substitutions for a few months or more until more poison is tracked down, if it can be...  Buy the best food you can and scrimp in other areas.  Cook in bulk on your days off and freeze portions for later in the week.

Did I miss any news reports stating that the FDA is testing numerous products that contain milk or milk products to assure Americans that our foods and beverages are safe?  Let me know if I missed an announcement.


 

Purringfur- Thank you I needed a good laugh tonight !

Looks like CASEN,XMPC,NESOI are the main US import, then the CSNT/OC,NT-CA/GL
(j-j = Jan - jul 2007 & jan-jul 2008)

Shows they apparently stopped importing the milk protein concentrates in 2006.
So, non-dairy creamers, fake cheese powders, what about hot chocolates? bottled lattes from Starbucks and Caribou Coffee? Bakery products, etc?
