The FDA announced a recall of Blue Cat Flavor Drinks due to tests that detected melamine. Melamine is the industrial chemical found in some Chinese infant formula that has sickened thousands of infants.

The distributor of the drinks, Tristar Food Wholesale Co. Inc., initiated a recall of several flavors of Blue Cat Flavor Drink, based on the FDA's findings.

Health officials recently announced that some White Rabbit Candy and Mr. Brown coffee products sold in the US were both found to be contaminated with melamine.

The FDA said in the press release that it is not aware of any illnesses in the United States stemming from consumption of Blue Cat Flavor Drinks, White Rabbit Creamy Candy, or the Mr. Brown instant coffee and milk tea products.

Individuals who have experienced any health problems after consuming Blue Cat Flavor Drinks, White Rabbit Creamy Candy, or any of the identified Mr. Brown coffee and tea products are advised to contact their health care professional.
