A chemical blamed for sickening infants in China has been found in candy on American shelves.
Connecticut consumer protection Commissioner Jerry Farrell Jr. said Wednesday that tests on White Rabbit Creamy Candy found melamine.
The candy has been found in stores in Connecticut. It was imported from China and sold primarily at Asian markets.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended last week that consumers not eat White Rabbit candy and that retailers remove it. Queensway Foods Company Inc. of California distributed the candy and says it is recalling it.
Melamine is used in plastics manufacturing and has been associated with contaminated infant formula and other Chinese products containing milk protein.
