Melamine found in Topaz wafer rolls

National Brands Inc. has issued a nationwide recall of Topaz Wafer Rolls in the US after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said its tests showed that the product contained melamine.

National Brands Inc, Spring Valley NY, is now recalling all its 4.76oz (135gm) metal cans and 12.3oz (350gm) metal cans of the Topaz brand product because they may pose a health risk.

The Topaz Wafer Rolls were distributed nationwide through retail stores and come in four cream filling flavors; chocolate, hazelnut chocolate, vanilla and mocha cappuccino.

The FDA said no illnesses associated with the product have been reported to date but urged consumers who have the product to stop using it immediately and seek a refund.

It follows the deaths of four infants in China linked to consuming baby milk contaminated with the chemical melamine and about 54,000 children were sickened.

Since then incidents of melamine-containing foods have swept the globe.
