The Food and Drug Administration issued an advisory today warning people to avoid using infant formula made in China. You won't find this formula at traditional grocery stores or at megamarts because it is illegal to sell it in the U.S. However, you might find a can or two at ethnic grocery stores. The concern? It may be contaminated with melamine, a product found in plastic. Melamine ingestion can cause kidney stones and other kidney problems.
