I was going to give out Koala’s March this Halloween, but then I learned they were implicated in the melamine issue. Even though I think they’re totally safe to eat with the minuscule amount of chocolate inside, I didn’t want any parents coming back the next day to kick my butt.

Oh snap. *slowly removes half-eaten White Rabbit candy from mouth* Well. This sucks. They’re so damn tasty though… *puts candy back in mouth* I bet THAT one was safe.

I love White Rabbit, so I’m rather bummed by this turn of events, but not entirely surprised. There are a huge number of products being affected by this, mainly in Asia, but also abroad. Hopefully some stricter standards will be put into place after this to protect the consumers, but until then, I just have to keep hoping that the scandal doesn’t end up killing all of my favorite Asian treats.

Anyone who read the Sea Hag’s review of White Rabbit candy from day 4 of her Candy Ramadan (http://sea-hag.blogspot.com/2008/06/candy-ramadan-day-4.html) should well remember her unpleasant experience with the product. Perhaps it was the melamine that caused it to taste like refried beans?

I wish they would put out a list of all the candies that may be tainted. I read that some versions of Pocky could have melamine in them. And the Koala chocolate filled crackers too. But what else uses milk products from China? Very scary.

Scary! I thank you for posting this though. The thought wouldn’t have even crossed my mind that these might be part of the recall!
