SINGAPURA: Penguasa Makanan Pertanian dan Ternakan (AVA) mengumumkan penarikan balik produk-produk madu Manuka jenama Evergreen buatan New Zealand semalam (26 Feb).
AVA menyatakan bahawa Kementerian Industri Asas New Zealand menasihati syarikat Evergreen Life Limited supaya menarik balik produk-produk mereka.
Ini kerena terdapat keprihatinan yang mendakwa bahwa bahan-bahan yang tidak diluluskan seperti dihydroxyacetone (DHA) dan methylglyoxal (MG) mungkin digunakan dalam proses membuat madu.
Kementerian tersebut menyatakan bahawa tiada risiko keselamatan makanan yang dikaitkan dengan produk-produk yang ditarik balik.
Namun AVA kini sedang bekerjasama dengan para pengimport makanan untuk menarik balik dengan serta-merta produk-produk yang dijual, disebabkan oleh peraturan makanan yang tidak membenarkan sembarang bahan tambahan dicampur dengan madu.
AVA menasihati orang ramai yang sudah membeli produk-produk itu supaya jangan menggunakannya.
Mereka yang sudah menggunakan produk tersebut dan mengalami sembarang masalah kesihatan dinasihati supaya segera berjumpa doktor. CNA/nd
SEDANGKAN DILANSIR DARI:Â
PUTRAJAYA: The government has banned imports of Manuka honey products by Evergreen Life Ltd of New Zealand following the withdrawal of the product in New Zealand as it may contain prohibited substances.
The director-general of health, Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, said the products by Evergreen Life were withdrawn in New Zealand as they may contain prohibited substances such as dihydroxyacetone and methylglyoxal used in its processes.
The Malaysian ban is effective today. Manuka honey is a monofloral honey produced in Australia and New Zealand from the nectar of the m?nuka tree, and has been claimed to have anti-bacterial properties.
Dr Noor Hisham said: “Even though there is no danger in food safety, consumers who had consumed the product and have doubts about their health can refer to their doctors for medical advice,†he said.
Malaysian consumers who have bought Manuka honey have been advised not to consume the products and to return the items to the shop, he said in a statement here today.
Dr Noor Hisham said the ministry was taking follow up action after the withdrawal of products was reported in the New Zealand Primary Industries Ministry’s website.
