Health officer issues warning
on Mexican candy
February 07, 2008
County health officials have warned consumers not to eat Bibi Rainbow
Chewing Gum, Tamanzela candies and Tarritos candies after tests found levels
of lead that could cause health problems.
All of the candies are imported from Mexico, according to Dr. Hugh
Stallworth, Monterey County health officer.
Stallworth said that eating lead-contaminated candy is particularly harmful
to infants, young children and pregnant women.
