What is Melamine?

We have all seen the reports about the Chinese milk products that contain Melamine. As reported recently in the news, the chemical Melamine is high in nitrogen, and is used to make plastics and fertilizers and experts say some amount of the chemical may be transferred from the environment during food processing. But in China's case, suppliers trying to boost output are believed to have diluted their milk, adding melamine because its nitrogen content can fool tests aimed at verifying protein content.

How can I as a consumer know where the products I purchase are manufactured?

Look for Country of Origin or Made in: on the package. Don't be confused with the company address. Just because XYZ Company has an office at a U.S. address does not mean the product was made in the U.S.A. Many companies import products under their own name that are assembled or made outside the U.S.A.

The Goetze's Candy Company will continue to make the best products possible right here in the United States of America!
