Sunflower has melamine?

Over the weekend, Hong Kong’s Center for Food Safety found 3.2 parts per million (ppm) of melamine in Sunflower Crackers Blueberry Cream Sandwich, exceeding the 2.5 ppm legal limit for melamine in food products..

because of this, there were several sunflower biscuit products subjected to melamine testing and were taken off the shelves in several supermarkets in metro manila until tests were done... luckily, all their products tested negative for melamine contamination...

Found free from melamine are: Sunflower Brand Honey Grahams (Whole Wheat), Sunflower Duo Cracker Sandwich (Peanut and Chocolate Cream), Sunflower Brand Crackers with Real Cheese, Sunflower Brand Crackers Chocolate Sandwich, Sunflower Duo Cracker Sandwich (Strawberry and Blueberry Cream), Sunflower Brand Choco n' Creme (Choco-coated Strawberry Sandwich), Sunflower Brand Cracker Onion-Garlic Flavor, and Sunflower Brand Crackers Blueberry Cream Sandwich.

Also are Sunflower Brand Crackers Lemon Cream Sandwich, Sunflower Brand Crackers Strawberry Cream Sandwich, Sunflower Brand Crackers Butter Flavor, Sunflower Brand Grahams n' Crème (Healthy Whole Wheat), Sunflower Brand Crackers Chicken Flavor, Sunflower Brand Crackers Great Original Flavor, Sunflower Brand Crackers Orange Cream Sandwich, and Sunflower Brand Crackers Mango Cream Sandwich.

lucky me! i really love eating sunflower mango and strawberry biscuits... :)
but it's kind of puzzling why tests were positive in HK... weird isn't it?

sigh.... will this ever end? i really don't know why these chinese workers and business owners had nothing in mind but quantity over quality... and why melamine of all chemicals on earth??? a chemical used for the manufacture of melawares and resistant boards, obviously, shouldn't be used for manufacture of food..
