Too much melamine found in 18 types of biscuits
Eighteen types of biscuits bearing the Khong Guan and Khian Guan brands have been found to contain excessive levels of melamine.
Khong Guan Sdn Bhd and Khian Guan Biscuit Manufacturing Company Sdn Bhd, in a joint statement, said they would fully cooperate with the ministry and would ensure that the products were recalled quickly.
The two companies said they have ceased (But WHEN??? WHERE,AT WHAT STAGE,PROOF? )using ammonium bicarbonate from China and had switched to those sourced from other countries.
“Khian Guan and Khong Guan have never used any dairy ingredients of Chinese origin in our products. All our dairy ingredients are sourced from either Australia or New Zealand,” they added.
“Results from our tests found that the melamine level in the ammonium carbonate used for Khong Guan and Khian Guan biscuits is 33.4ppm and 508ppm respectively,” he told a press conference on Thursday.
The permissible level of melamine is 2.5 parts per million (ppm).
The ministry was checking Julie’s Crackers and Mali unsweetened condensed milk which was reported in the media to contain excessive levels of melamine.
It was reported that 18 out of 47 products had been found with excessive levels of melamine and the manufacturer has been instructed to recall them.
Do you realize,our ministry is always slow and behind time on these"checking" stuff and the manufacture can SAY THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THESE STUFF! i.e The two companies said they have ceased (But WHEN??? WHERE,AT WHAT STAGE,PROOF? ) using ammonium bicarbonate from China and had switched to those sourced from other countries. HOW LIKE THAT !!??? TELL ME WHY WHY WHY???
