Yes, I find the Itchmo link particularly valuable.

From there, they have a link to Wysong, which has the following on one of its web pages:

This unthinkable and irresponsible act has most certainly destroyed our confidence in China. Our feeling is that any food product now coming from China should be held in suspicion unless proven otherwise. We have reviewed all Wysong formulations and believe all of our ingredients are safe. We are using no ingredients from China. We are also hesitant to use any imported ingredient unless we can have absolute assurance of quality. If there arises any reason for us to suspect any ingredient, regardless of its source, it will be tested to assure purity.

...

Manufacturers seeking to avoid any ingredients from China are finding it very difficult to do so. Many ingredient manufacturers in the U.S. have been driven out of business by Chinese competition. Shopping for “made in the U.S.” in the ingredient market has become as difficult as finding non-Chinese products at Wal-Mart. China will be crippled from these events and U.S. manufacturers are learning that “least-cost formulation” is not the smartest way to healthy nutrition.

It also has a link that leads to an interesting webpage at the University of Guelph, with a lot of information, including photographs showing the contaminated product alongside uncontaminated:
