Dr. Ron Chapman, director of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and state health officer, today warned consumers not to eat three preserved plum products, after tests conducted by CDPH found that all three exceed state standards for lead.
CDPHs recent chemical analysis determined that Red Lantern Plum Candy contained as much as 18.4 micrograms of lead per serving. Chan Pui Mui Preserved Plum (Lot QFC 108 Best Before 15.Nov.2013), contained as much as 6.6 micrograms of lead per se
