HALLOWEEN CANDY RECALLED in Canada
A new warning put out by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Sherwood brand Pirate's Gold Milk Chocolate coins (you know the ones wrapped in the shiny gold foil) 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 typically sold at Costco, as well as many bulk and dollar stores. The company of the candy claims that none of the “coins” that contain melamine reached the U.S, only Canada.
