This time from Diamond and it's Nutra Nuggets. I just took a look at the the date of the press release and it's May 23 so if this has been posted and I missed I apologize ahead of time.
I just heard that melamine is in baby formula, our cereals, packaged food mixes, and even in some vegetable dishes. I don't know why we're not hearing this from government sources, if this is true.

What I posted is true, which is why I also included the link. As for the rest, I couldn't tell you.

I think it's true. If those products (and others) contain glutens, flours, and/or protein concentrates that were imported from Chinese companies who routinely add melamine, cyanuric acid, and who-knows-what-else in order to fraudulently boost protein levels and therefore command higher selling prices, then the answer would be: "Yes, melamine (and other kwap) is in those products".
As to why gov't has not and probably will not disclose this to the public, IMHO it is because of the pervasive & bipartisan mega-buck-corporate "sponsorship of gov't". Because of that "sponsorship", the gov't will not do anything to jeopardize its "Golden Goose", as it has become extensively beholdin' to the mega-corporations. (Disclaimer: I believe corruption pervades all party lines at all levels - local and all the way up. Thus, this paragraph is not intended to be a political statement and should not be used as a diversion to shift the focus of this thread. )
BTW, late last week Canadian officials seized a Chinese shipment of corn gluten that tested positive for melamine AND cyanuric acid. Anyone who has followed the pet food crisis knows that those are the 2 chemicals now known to cause kidney failure and death when together in digestive tracts.
ps) Cleosmom: Thanks soooo much for the info you've provided!)
I work for a food manufacturer- trust me when I tell you that there is a great deal of concern right now for the safety of the ingredients that go into our food as well. Memos are coming out almost daily- and have been for about 2 months.
Grrr, we're having a hard time keeping our food in stock anymore as is our distributor because so many have made the switch from the utilitarian brands to the top of the line feeds.
When I see these recalls, I thank God we feed a Raw Meat and Bones diet!!
