<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>To make this basset related,
China has been responsible for dosing grain and other ingredients that have
made their way into dog food in other countries, now Halloween candy?
They don’t even celebrate Halloween there (at least not in its North
American form), so what the heck is going on? It’s a conspiracy, I
tell ya. Maybe we should get Nigel and Lewis to bring a law suit.
Here is the warning, especially for our Canadian Droolers. Remember, don’t
give dogs chocolate anyway, it causes kidney failure. Chocolate, Grapes
and grape products including: wine, jelly, fruit juice; and also onions, can
all cause renal failure in canines. Now the chocolate is “enhanced”
with nutritious and delicious Melamine! I think they are trying to kill
us…</span><o:p></o:p></p>

</span>OTTAWA, October 8, 2008 – The Canadian Food Inspection Agency
(CFIA) is warning the public not to consume, distribute, or sell the Sherwood
Brands Pirate’s Gold Milk Chocolate Coins described below. This product
is being recalled due to positive test results for melamine conducted by the
CFIA.<span style='color:#1F497D'><br>

Coins, is sold in 840g containers containing 240 pieces per container bearing
UPC 0 36077 11240 7 and lot code 1928S1.<span style='color:#1F497D'><br>
</span>This product is sold nationally through Costco stores and may also have
been sold in bulk packages or as individual pieces at various dollar and bulk
stores across Canada.<span style='color:#1F497D'><br>
</span>If the original product identity and UPC code is not evident, consumers
are advised to check with their retailer to determine if they have the affected

Brands Pirate’s Gold Milk Chocolate Coins and to initiate a voluntary
recall of this product. The CFIA will be working with the importers to remove
the affected product from the marketplace.<span style='color:#1F497D'><br>
</span>There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of
these products.<span style='color:#1F497D'> </span>Although the health risk

distributed in Canada.<span style='color:#1F497D'><br>
</span>The CFIA is monitoring the effectiveness of the recall.<span

industrial applications. Canada does not allow its use as a food
ingredient.<span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
