Ladies — here’s a verified warning from my PTA listserv. Sherwood brand Pirate’s Gold Milk Chocolate coins are being recalled by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency because they contain Melamine, the ingredient that has caused many infant deaths in China. These candies are sold at Costco and many bulk and dollar stores. Please check your children’s Halloween candy and DO NOT LET THEM EAT THE PIRATE COINS (those wrapped in the shiny gold foil — picture below). Please let other parents know about this!
OH FOR THE DAYS WHEN PIRATING WAS SAFE!!!!
See recalled candy and actual Halloween pirate below.
