A health inspector was on the prowl for toxic baby formula when he came across some dangerous white rabbits.

Bags of “White Rabbit Creamy Candy” were pulled from two New Haven grocery stores this week by food safety inspectors from the state Department of Consumer Protection.

An industrial chemical blamed for sickening thousands of infants in China was found in candy in four Connecticut stores this week, a state official said Wednesday.

Days after contaminated White Rabbit Creamy Candy was found in California, Connecticut Consumer Protection Commissioner Jerry Farrell Jr. said tests found melamine in bags of the candy sold at two New Haven stores, a West Hartford market and an East Haven store.
