There is a new warning put out by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency....

Sherwood brand Pirate's Gold Milk Chocolate coins are being recalled due to the fact that they contain Melamine, the ingredient in milk product that has caused many infant deaths in china. These candies are sold at Costco, as well as many bulk and dollar stores. please make sure to check your childrens halloween candy and DO NOT LET THE MEAT THE PIRATE COINS (you know the ones wrapped in the shiny gold foil) and please let other parents know about this!

Stay safe!

That is so scary. I'll be sure to inspect my sons bag for this. Since this candy was sold at Costco he will probably end up with it.
White Rabbit candy was also recalled for the same reason. Scary because my kids just bought some of this at Viet Wah, an Asian market I shop at.

Wow that is totally scary! Folks, please check your kids Trick or Treat bag, and, even take a few minutes to exam the "seams" on the packaging to make sure no tears are apparent. And one more thing...take plenty of pictures of the children to share in the costumes!
