OTTAWA - The Canadian Food Inspection Agency recall of Chinese products linked to the tainted milk scandal in China continued Tuesday.
The CFIA is warning people not to consume Lotte brand Koala's March filled cookies which may contain melamine. The affected products may have been distributed nationally but there have been no illnesses reported with the product. The products are manufactured by Lotte China Foods Co., Ltd and have been voluntarily recalled.
The recall is part of the government's investigation into milk and milk-derived products from China that may have been distributed in Canada.
More than 54,000 children in China have been sickened by tainted milk products and four deaths have been blamed on the products there.
The CFIA has issued several warnings about products that may contain melamine, an industrial chemical that can cause kidney stones and kidney failure.
Canada does not allow its use as a food ingredient.
Other recalls worldwide included Cadbury chocolates, baby cereals, crackers, infant formula, candy and instant coffee.
