So I got this as a Email…. Do you think it’s true?
AM 980 BREAKING NEWS Chocolate Halloween candy purchased at Costco or Dollar Stores:
PLEASE READ THIS AND FORWARD TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW WITH KIDS TRICK OR TREATING FOR HALLOWEEN.
Please send this message to everyone you know that has kids who are going to be going out for Halloween!
With Halloween fast approaching comes a warning to parents and kids regarding Sherwood brand Pirate’s Gold milk chocolate coins imported from China .
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning the public not to eat, distribute or sell the candy
It is sold across Canada by Costco and may also have been sold in bulk packages or as individual pieces at various dollar and bulk stores. The chocolate contains melamine which is the same
chemical responsible for killing several babies in China , and sickening thousands more. I checked snopes and sadly it is TRUE.
So thanks to everyone who wasn’t RUDE… There aint nothing stupid about being safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The gold coin Candy’s are always nasty anyway… no matter if their gum or chocolate.
I’d just throw them out no matter what, safe or not…
Better SAFE than sorry when it comes to my kids.
There are better candys to give out. and I agree, just dont buy anything from china!
Down with Walmart too! FYI
i don’t believe any sketchy emails i get.
It would be on the news…not some stupid email.
probably, but even if it isn’t, no sense in taking chances.
True, it was in the news about 2 weeks ago.
Don’t buy ANYTHING from china, especially food.
Edit: It’s good to see the American media not protecting it’s citizens by mentioning anything about it. They’re too busy reporting what Obama and Sarah Palin are doing. Sucks to be you people.
idk
i haven’t seen news articles or hard proof for this, so…..
even if you do believe it, how do you know if the candy’s imported from China?
what if it’s made somewhere else??
