Melamine Found in Sweets and Biscuits

Small amounts of the toxic substance melamine have been found in sweets and biscuits on sale in Finland.

According to The Finnish Food Safety Authority, melamine has been found in White Rabbit confectionery and in Koala biscuits. The products pose no health danger to the public but have been removed from the market.

Finnish officials tightened controls on products containing Chinese diary products when about one thousand children in China fell ill after consuming milk powder containing melamine.
