Canadians! Dump the Pirate Gold Coins!

[alfreda89]

Know those "Don't eat XXX because it has YYY in it?"

Turns out the Chinese-made milk chocolate pirate coins being sold in Canada have melamine in them. Costco Canada got some of them, so basically, if you're within a couple hours of the border, I don't think I'd eat the coins.

And I'm about to dump all the Chinese supplements in the house. I need to convince W not to get any more from his acupuncturist....

Seek anything Chinese you may need to get from companies that are "GMP" certified by third parties. Lots of good companies use Australian certification to ensure they're using good manufacturing practices, which means they're investing in their reputation for integrity.
