I thought that was why they are so expensive and hard to find. When my daughter came along and decided to start eating, we searched for them as if they were a must-have. I heard that they were available in Hawaii and that a mom who lives there regularly brought them over to the mainland for her friends. My husband bought a CASE of them on Amazon for a good deal and we are still going through them at 16 months :-) How is it that I got the impressions that MumMums were made in Europe?

In short, the powdered milk used is imported from New Zealand and has been tested twice, once by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Still, point taken. I’m used to examining nuts at Costco and declining anything not grown and processed in the US or Canada… not that it’s a guarantee of safety, but I do try to avoid foods from other countries when possible.

I myself am not sure if they are safe or unsafe, but I have resisted buying these. Since I haven't followed the melamine stories closely, I don't know exactly what foods are affected. </p> Do you have any concerns about Mum-Mums, since they are a product of China?
