Food Safety Action Plan report : 2011-2012 targeted surveys - chemistry : melamine in selected foods.: A104-556/2012E-PDF
"The main objective of this targeted survey was to generate baseline surveillance data on the level of melamine in meat and seafood alternatives, meal replacements, protein powders, and snack products available on the Canadian retail market. Melamine is a synthetic chemical used in commercial and industrial applications. It does not occur naturally in the environment or in food, and is not permitted for use in food. However, it may be found in food at low levels as a result of its industrial uses, such as from fertilizers or as a by-product from the use of certain pesticides (e.g., cyromazine)"--Executive summary, page 2.
