Joy killer

More and more China-made dairy products found tainted with melamine have been yanked off supermarket shelves. Every new day, a new list is announced. From frozen yoghurt to our favourite milk candy, the list is expanding. We never quite know if some toxic milk or butter have found their way into cakes and bread churned out by our local confectionaries as officials are scrambling to check the origins of thousands of food products.

As I was eating Dreyers strawberrry ice cream last night, I discovered it's made in Hong Kong which relies heavily on raw materials from China. Suddenly the ice cream doesn't taste so good anymore.
