A warning for my UK readers....

The fallout from milk products contaminated with the industrial chemical melamine has found an unexpected new frontier. Britain’s food regulator said Monday that several edible sex accessories imported from China and sold in Britain were contaminated with small amounts of melamine. The products included chocolate and strawberry “body pens,” as well as erotic chocolate lotion. Ann Summers, the sex-accessories shop that was selling the products, said it had already removed them from its shelves. The regulator, the Food Standards Agency, said that it had never had to put out an alert about edible sex products before, but added that the levels of melamine in the products were low and that no one who had eaten any of them should worry.

Anyone who relies on chocolate body lotion deserves what they get, IMO!

After so many years working/hanging out with TMI-folk, I figure flavored body lotion is the least of their offenses. I just wish they'd learn that the "do not microwave" label on the bottle is somewhat stronger than a suggestion!
