Chemical Milk Moustache
A few days ago the Canadian Food Inspection Agency recalled a number of cartons of Beatrice chocolate milk being sold in Ontario and Quebec. The milk was contaminated with chemical sanitizers. No word on exactly how much milk is being pulled off the shelves, but the recall will affect three sizes of cartons.
Plastic in Chocolate Bars
Last month Mars was forced to pull millions of chocolate bars including Mars and Snickers from the shelves in 55 countries. The recall was issued after a small piece of red plastic that could be a choking hazard was found in a Snickers bar manufactured in the Netherlands and purchased in Germany. The U.S. was not affected by the recall.

Toxins in Toys
A popular toy in the UK is being recalled because it has high levels of phthalates. The toys, called My Little Dolls House, contained levels of the chemical considered to be dangerous. Phthalates are often used as a plasticizer and in other materials.
