Melamine Tainted Cookies Found in the U.S.

ANCHOR:
Melamine in the U.S...Yes, the chemical melamine has now been found in a brand of cream-filled cookies from China called Koala's March. Authorities have issued warnings to consumers, urging them to discard the contaminated the cookies.

Scientists in Alabama's state-run labs tested the strawberry and chocolate flavors of Koala's March cookies. They found that both exceeded the acceptable level of melamine set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA.

After Alabama pulled the products off the shelves statewide, the FDA issued a nationwide warning and Lotte USA, the distributor, issued a recall.

It comes about two weeks after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued an alert.

The products are still available to order on some Internet sites, but major online stores like Amazon.com have removed them.

U.S. watchdog groups continue to press for stricter controls and testing of imported Chinese foods containing dairy products.

Why can't they make cookies without the poison? Is it necessary to include that ingredient? I don't get it.
