The Very Best? Really?

Nestle, already having problems with China made products because of melamine contamination, is recalling Farinha Lactea Ceral in the U.S. because of pesticide contamination. The FDA press release can be read here. Nestle says the "grain fumigant" is Pirimiphos-Methyl. Nestle claims that the product is not imported by Nestle USA into the United States, but rather the product is made by Nestle Brazil and offered for sale in Brazilian groceries in the U.S. by Nestle Brazil. Alrighty then.
For those of you interested in the country of origin of raw ingredients in the product, I have no word yet on the origin of the wheat or the pesticide.
