The fact that the FDA is putting the burden of proof (that products are safe) on the Chinese companies is overdue. I quit buying anything that I even suspect comes from there. This includes all products made by Nestle's since they have a factory there (hot choc mix, milk stir-ins, etc.). Another thing to watch is dollar store/discount brand chocolates...Canada just had a huge recall of Chinese made chocolate.
