Food Labels, Warning Labels

Now that there has been a level of melamine in food determined to be acceptable and therefore levels that are unacceptable, I wonder if food labels will start listing melamine as an ingredient. Or a caution label: "This product contains up to 2.5 parts per million of melamine". Or "This product may contain unknown levels of melamine". 

Or maybe we can have a version of a Prop 65 warning on food packaging. It is interesting to note that according to the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, Proposition 65 requires the Governor to publish, at least annually, a list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.

Melamine is not on that list. I wonder if it will ever get on that list.

You can contact your legislative representatives and communicate with them about all of this. Some congressional representatives are already trying to do something about the questionable FDA guidelines.

Melamine Blog advocates for the testing of whole and processed food quality from all sources and origins, publicized results and thorough food labeling including origin labeling. The public needs more info about melamine and how to avoid eating it.
