BURLINGAME, Calif. -- A Burlingame food distribution company that specializes in Asian imports was continuing a voluntary recall of Chinese candies after state officials found them to be contaminated.

Queensway Foods Company Inc., a U.S. distributor of White Rabbit Candy, has responded to consumer warnings from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the California Department of Health and the San Mateo Public Health Department by recalling every flavor of the Chinese-produced candy after testing found it to contain dangerous levels of the toxin melamine, Suanne Buggy of the state health department confirmed Monday.

The California Department of Public Health conducted tests confirming a level of melamine in the candy, which, according to Buggy, was "unacceptably high."

Officials said the White Rabbit Creamy Candy was sold in 8- or 16-ounce packages. All other flavors of White Rabbit Candy, including assorted (chocolate, coconut, and coffee), red bean, coffee, corn, lychee, mango and strawberry were sold in 7-ounce packages. All packaging has a logo of a white rabbit on the front with the words "White Rabbit."

There have been no U.S. reports of illness connected to White Rabbit Candy, which was distributed by Queensway Foods throughout the southwestern states, according to representatives of federal, state and local agencies.

State officials said the candy was distributed to retail stores in California, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Texas and Washington state.
