White Rabbit Creamy Candy

White Rabbit milk-based lollies have been withdrawn from sale in Australia by importers and wholesalers. The action commenced on 24 September 2008 and follows Australian test results showing levels of melamine in product available here. It also follows overseas tests showing contamination.  The lollies were sold in retail packs through Asian retailers and supermarkets and also available in some Asian restaurants.
Consumers are advised not to consume White Rabbit milk-based lollies made in China. Consumers should dispose of the product safely out of the reach of children and pets.
