Crackers and Melamine

Today I found out that BFAD banned Sunflower Crackers(blueberry kind) contains melamine, I was alarmed as kids like to eat this type of crackers and parents often let the kids have a pack of this cracker for snack or "merienda" as they are deemed more healthy or safe than having chocolates or chips, anyway the sunflower product that is affected is the Blueberry flavor or the Sunflower Cracker, which I have never tried, but i do like to buy their original Sunflowers crackers. this issue also raise question about the quality of production process and quality check put in by CROLEY FOODS MFG. CORP. makers of Sunflowers food product, in my opinion I wouldn't buy any Croley Food product for the meantime even if their other product tested out negative, as there is a big "what if" question like there are other things in there that isn't being tested, I don't have kids but I wouldn't want any kid getting sick because of crackers, I also feel very dissapointed with Croley as a manufacturing company as Sun Flower have been known for quality in the past, yet they have been irresponsible specially with regards to safety of their product which a lot of kids consume daily.

The Croley Foods products which tested satisfactorily in the CFS examinations were Croley

Foods Sunflower Crackers (Mango Cream Sandwich)
Croley Foods Sunflower Crackers (Chicken Flavor)
Croley Foods Sunflower Crackers (Orange Cream Sandwich)
Croley Foods Sunflower Crackers (Strawberry Cream Sandwich)
