So I click on this link and I got excited today.....

then I read this in the article "The labels aren't for processed foods, meaning no label if the food is cooked, or an ingredient in a bigger dish or otherwise substantially changed"

Well, what good is this from preventing this: "Asian Candy Distributed By Burlingame Company Determined To Be Toxic...The California Department of Public Health conducted tests confirming a level of melamine in the candy, which, according to Buggy, was "unacceptably high."

Yeah a COOL step in the right direction.

unreal imo.

I'm a lot more concerned about Chinese processed foods than their garlic cloves.

Although those are probably poisonous too.

Just don't buy it. Puts pressure on them to change or go out of business....unless of course their government bails them out.

COOL is COOL, It allows consumers to make informed decisions.
On the processed stuff. Cook your own!

It wouldn't do anything to prevent that, it is a "prepared food" with mixed ingredients.

The added poison makes it into "processed food" and it too would need no label.
