On October 8th, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued a consumer advisory warning the public not to eat, distribute, or sell Pirate's Gold milk chocolate coins imported from China and distributed by U.S.-based Sherwood Brands. The candy is being recalled after testing positive for the industrial chemical melamine, a substance at the center of the tainted-milk controversy in China that has been implicated in the deaths of four infants and sickening of 54000 other babies. The coins were being sold across Canada by Costco, and may have also bee vended in bulk packages or as individual pieces at dollar or bulk stores.
While it does state in the article that none of the affected batches were sold in the US, it still might be a good idea to avoid these this year.
