Hi ya ronaldinu
That is good that you are letting people know of this as there are a lot of people that wouldn't have known this and Cheese and Onion flavour is very popular, it is one of my favourites it has to be said. We don't AJ's in the uk so I guess I can stop worrying! Thanks for letting us know!

I've never seen this particular brand of Potato chips but it kind of makes you wonder about anything nowadays. What the heck is going on with our foods? If it's not some e. coli or salmonella contamination, then it's this melamine that is creeping into our processed foods. Gee, maybe we should stick to a diet of breathing air...oh, wait...that's polluted too...LOL

Oh no, another food to be taken off the shelves again, due to melamine.. It seems that the lsit will only keep growing longer and longer, and very soon, there won't be any more food left to choose from... ANd because of that, food will be in demand, and slowly, prices will increase again..
I just hate those businessmen whom started the whole thing, as well as the china authorities whom allowed it to happened because of olympics..

Many thanks for your information.
Actually the food security issue is always paid much attention, epecially recently, because of the contaminated milk powder by melamine, and many other foods containing protein might be contaminated by melamine.
This issue makes us comsumers afraid of eating those food, and deeply doubted the food security promised by the suppliers.
The best way for us comsumers to do is not to buy those products any more, because if we continue to buy, actually we support those suppliers. We should let them get the punishment.
The government and relative organization must take strict control for food security issue.

Thank you ronaldinu for the information about the chips. I have never heard of the AJ's brand before but thanks anyway. By the way, how did you get signed up to receive those health warnings to your e-mail? I would like to sign-up for that too, if possible. Would I have to go to the Department of Environmental Health's website to do so? Please let me know as that sounds like a very good resource to be notified like that because sometimes if you aren't paying attention to the news on a daily basis you might miss a warning like that. Thanks again ronaldinu! Hope you have a nice day. Take care.

My goodness, I think those products should be pulled out immediately from the market! How about those people who did not come to know this advisory. They will continue eating that product. I really hate those people who did this evil thing. Imagine putting melamine just to profit. They don't mind if people die provided they get more and more earnings! They are demonic!

Hi ronaldinu,
Thank you for giving out the information, and yet another food scare, it just goes on but to be on the safe side its good idea to stay away from these products, but I am sick of it and I have not heard anything of it in our country, so I don't really know if this is true.
