Today I threw away a few packets of biscuits that an aunt bought for the girls from the pasar malam (night market) last week coz I think those biscuits had milk in them. I am not taking any chances after reading so much news on the milk powder scare in China. Before eating or drinking anything now, I will check the packaging thoroughly to ensure that the product is not made in China. Alycia came home from school today with a party pack consisting of biscuits, crackers and other junk food. I threw away a few items when I saw the dreaded words "made in China"! Am I too paranoid? Well, better paranoid and be safe than sorry, right?
Oh yeah, my brothers and I ate quite a bit of the 'White Rabbit' milk candies when we were young more than 2 decades ago. How we loved those candies with edible papers. O_o, I just hope that the manufacturer did not taint those candies with melamine then!
Also, Alycia and Sherilyn ate loads of Baby Bites rice crackers a few years ago and I read from one of the mummy's blogs yesterday that Baby Bites were made in China and had milk in them! Sei hmm sei!! I just hope that Baby Bites aren't tainted with melamine as well.

it's better to be paranoid. nothing from china is safe now. it's very worrying and let's hope baby bites is ok, though i really am not very optimistic about it. my baby ate quite a lot over the past few months and at times when this issue bugs me i really feel like bringing her to pediatrician and have her checked. Such nightmares! All coz of those unscrupulous manufacturers.
