Melamine Found in Cookies


A Vietnam company has recalled cookies it distributed in the United States after melamine was detected in a sample product tested by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

Interfood Shareholding Co. has recalled all lot codes of four varieties of its Wonderfarm brand biscuits sold in 800-gram red tins. The varieties are "Successful,'' "Royal Flavour,'' "Lovely Melody,'' and "Daily Life.''

State testing found that some cookies in the sample batch contained melamine levels that exceeded the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) limit of 2.5 parts per million.

Melamine is a synthetic chemical with a variety of industrial uses. In what was one of the biggest food safety stories of the year, the chemical was added to baby formula in China by unscrupulous manufacturers who wanted to boost protein readings. More than 50,000 children were sickened in the scandal.

After some food imports to the U.S. started to test positive for melamine, the U.S. Department of Agriculture early this month ordered spot checks on certain foods popular with children.
