"White Rabbit Creamy Candy" from China tainted

SINGAPORE: Singapore's Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority
(AVA) says its latest laboratory findings show that the "White
Rabbit Creamy Candy" from China is also contaminated with
melamine.



It advises consumers who have bought the affected product not
to consume them. The latest test results bring the total number
of milk and related products from China imported into
Singapore that are found to be contaminated with melamine to
three.

The other two affected products are "Yili Brand" Choice Dairy
Fruit Bar Yogurt Flavoured Ice Confection" and "Dutch Lady"
brand of strawberry flavoured milk.





All the affected products have been recalled earlier.

Since September 19, AVA has suspended the import and sale of
all milk and milk products from China.

These products include milk, ice-cream, yoghurt, confectionery
such as chocolates, biscuits and sweets as well as any other
products containing milk from China as an ingredient.

Retailers and importers have been instructed to recall these
products and withhold them from sale.

As a precaution, consumers are also advised not to consume
any milk or milk products from China.

AVA says it will not hesitate to prosecute any retailer or
importer who fails to remove these products from their shelves.

Under the Sale of Food Act, anyone found selling unwholesome
food can be fined up to $10,000 and/or sentenced to three
months' jail, or both.

Consumers who have any queries can call AVA's hotline at
6325-7625 during office hours (8.30am-6pm, Monday-Friday).
