Oh yay!

A few weeks ago we got introduced to some amazingly delicious little cookies from Japan, chocolate filled and with cute little koalas printed on them. We bought a couple packages, and just finished them off.

Latest news re: Chinese melamine tainting:

"Officials in Macao, a Chinese territory, said Friday that the chemical had turned up in koala-shaped cookies made by a Japanese-owned company." (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/27/world/asia/27recall.html?ref=world)

"The government in the Chinese territory of Macau said late Thursday it had found melamine levels 24 times the safety limit in chocolate-filled Koala's March cookies made by Lotte China Foods Co. The company is a member of Tokyo-based conglomerate Lotte Group" (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6024432.html)

Yup. Same ones. Oops.

So, like avoid these, m'kay?





(But after this has blown over? You have *got to try these*!)
