I still have no confidence my dogs' food is melamine free or the rice noodles I eat from Taiwan are melamine free. I still have questions daily about the source of ingredients of processed foods, and now, apparently, foods I had previously not considered processed, such as eggs and fresh fish. There just still seems to be no consistent accountability. Just a drop in the proverbial bucket.

We need to watch any product where melamine can falsely boost protein levels, including and especially soy protein products. Also, China is poised to send massive amounts of fish from its massive aquaculture industry to the US. Chinese melamine producers have already admitted that they sold melamine to makers of commercial fish food. We need strength in the FDA now more than ever.
