FDA Finds Melamine In Flavored Drink Save Email Print

A | A | A

(October 6, 2008)—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Monday it has found melamine contamination in Blue Cat Flavor Drinks and warned the public not to consume the products.

Read FDA News Release

The FDA said the distributor, Tristar Food Wholesale, Inc., has recalled several flavors of the drink in response to the FDA’s findings.

The FDA has stepped up testing for the industrial chemical in the wake of the scandal involving contaminated Chinese dairy products.

Last month, the FDA issued an alert about the recall of seven Mr. Brown instant coffee and milk tea products because of possible contamination with melamine.

The recalled products are:

Mr. Brown Mandheling Blend Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
Mr. Brown Arabica Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
Mr. Brown Blue Mountain Blend Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
Mr. Brown Caramel Macchiato Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
Mr. Brown French Vanilla Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
Mr. Brown Mandhling Blend instant Coffee (2-in-1)
Mr. Brown Milk Tea (3-in-1)

The FDA is also advising consumers not to purchase infant formula manufactured in China, which may be available over the Internet or from other sources.

This is a prime example of why we need to lower the capital gains tax on businesses. If you tax them they move to where they have cheaper taxes. I try to buy things made here but sometimes you have to buy it made in another country. Just not China!

Forget the costs, lets start making all our products here in the US from American Made supplies, first lead in all plastics from China, now Melamine in our food products, lets get back the pride of American Made by good old Americans, put the workforce back into our hands and screw the rest of the world. The main platform that any candidate needs to push is Make American for America, give companies the incentive to do it here, and give the people jobs that they need badly.

I thought KWTX Analog signal would be off the air the week of Oct. 6. I am still receiving the signal. Why is this?
