Well, the newest scare is now involving eggs found to have high melamine levels. They seem to be thinking that it can be traced to the feed given to the chickens that laid the eggs.
The government said in a statement it found 4.7 parts per million of melamine in the eggs produced by a division of China's Dalian Hanwei Enterprise Group based in the northeastern port city Dalian. The legal limit of melamine in Hong Kong is 2.5 ppm.
The new results have prompted officials to expand food testing to meat imports from China.
In an earlier egg-related food safety scare, the banned cancer-causing industrial dye, Sudan Red, was used to color egg yolks.
The Hong Kong government also said it found excessive amounts of melamine in Blueberry Cream Sandwich crackers made by Philippine company Croley Foods MFG. Corp.
I think what we can all learn from this is NOT to buy any food item made in China until all of this mess is cleared up!!
