POSTED: 6:46 pm PST January 14, 2011
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- An Indianapolis-based candy distributor has recalled all Toxic Waste brand Nuclear Sludge Chew Bar candies after California health officials said they found unacceptable levels of lead from the Pakistan-imported candies.
California Department of Public Health Director Dr. Mark Horton said a recent analysis determined that the candies contained as much as .24 parts per million of lead. California considers candies with lead levels in excess of .10 parts per million to be contaminated, Horton said.
The health official said consumers in possession of the candy, which comes in cherry, sour apple and blue raspberry flavors, should discard it immediately.Meanwhile, pregnant women and parents of children who may have consumed this candy should consult their physician or health care provider to determine if medical testing is needed, Horton said.
