Candy maker struggles to pull rabbit out of hat

SHANGHAI: Although White Rabbit creamy candy has resumed production and will soon return to market, gloom and ambivalence persist among customers.

The confectionery maker said yesterday it had resumed production using powdered milk confirmed as melamine free, and that about 300 tons of safe candy are awaiting delivery.

Guan Sheng Yuan Food said its candy would likely return to shelves at the end of the month despite the fact its domestic sales ban remains in effect pending further tests.
