Candy Recall urgent
(Mombuzz editorial note: this notice's validity verified)
 
With Halloween upon us this warning was issued to parents and kids regarding Sherwood brand Pirate's Gold milk chocolate coins imported from China.
 
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning the public not to eat, distribute or sell the candy.
 
It is sold across Canada by Costco and may also have been sold in bulk packages or as individual pieces at various dollar and bulk stores.
 
The chocolate contains melamine which is the same chemical responsible for killing several babies in China, and sickening thousands more.
