Only Dairy Products?

CNN's updated article about melamine in eggs is here. And a tweaked version, here. From CNN.com:
Experts say melamine's health risks are not well known. According to Dr. Dan Blumenthal of the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, "Something we don't know is whether there is a safe amount of melamine in food. I'd rather not eat any melamine at all. There is a limit that is not based on animal studies, but we can't be certain that even the small amount is safe in humans, especially if consumption of the chemical goes on for years."
In the meantime, Blumenthal recommends "the prudent thing to do is to stay away from foods that might be contaminated, and this especially means infant formula and other dairy products that are coming from China."

Researchers and reporters have stated that melamine has been found in raw ingredients coming from China as well. I think it would be wise to question where the raw ingredients in our processed foods comes from before consuming those as well.
