CONSUMER ADVISORY - UPDATE ON PRODUCTS DETECTED TO CONTAIN MELAMINE
Surveillance on imported and locally manufactured biscuits
AVA has intensified and completed its checks on more than 640 types of the major brands of imported and locally manufactured biscuits available in Singapore.
Update on products from China
2 AVA has detected melamine contamination in these three additional China-made products:
i)
Lotte Koala’s March Cocoa Chocolate Biscuit
ii)
Hello Kitty Strawberry Cream Filled Biscuit
iii)
Unbranded non-dairy creamer in industrial pack
3 The two China-made biscuits [(i) and (ii)] contained milk ingredients and had been recalled since 19 September 2008. The non-dairy creamer [(iii)] is meant for re-export and is not available in the retail market. The tainted products will be destroyed under AVA’s supervision.
(Details of the affected China products are attached at Annex A.)
Imported biscuits that are tainted
4 Other than the affected products from China, melamine has been detected in 17 biscuit products from Malaysia. Test results for the rest of the imported biscuits, including those from Malaysia, were satisfactory. The affected Malaysian-made biscuits are:
i)
Julie’s Golden Kaka Crackers
ii)
Julie’s Wheat Crackers
iii)
Julie’s Cottage Crackers (Vegetable Yeast Cracker)
iv)
Julie’s Cottage Crackers (Original Yeast Cracker)
v)
Julie’s Chez Creamy Cheese Sandwich
vi)
Julie’s Sugar Crackers (extra flaky)
vii)
Julie’s Waferico Chocolate Coated Wafers with Chocolate Cream Filling
viii)
Julie’s Cream Crackers
ix)

xii)

xiii)
Khong Guan Assorted Biscuits
xiv)
Khian Guan Biscuit Osborne
xv)
Leo Gold Finger Choco
xvi)
Santa Chocolate Gold Fingers
xvii)
Swan Chocolate Fingers
(Details of the affected Malaysian-made biscuits are attached at Annex B.)
5 Importers and retailers are required to withdraw the affected Malaysian-made biscuits from sale with immediate effect. As 12 of the 17 products are “Julie’s” brand of biscuits, as a precautionary measure, all “Julie’s” brand biscuits are also required to be withdrawn from sale.
6 AVA advises consumers who have bought the implicated products not to consume them.
7 All the 17 affected products will be destroyed under AVA’s supervision.
Locally manufactured biscuits are safe for consumption
8 AVA’s tests also included various types of biscuits under the major brands of “Khong Guan” and “Meiji” as well as other traditional biscuits that are manufactured in Singapore. Melamine has not been detected in these products.
Surveillance on raising agents used in Singapore
9 Ammonium bicarbonate, an approved food additive, had been implicated in melamine contamination in Malaysian-made biscuits. Hence, in addition to intensified checks on biscuits, AVA has also tested for melamine contamination in the raising agents (ammonium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate) used by biscuit manufacturers in Singapore. Checks have found that the raising agents used in Singapore for manufacturing of biscuits are of food grade standard and are not contaminated with melamine.
On-going surveillance of milk and milk products and products containing milk as an ingredient
10 As of 24 Oct 08, 3,200 types of milk and milk products, chocolates, biscuits, non-dairy creamers and other products imported from more than 40 countries have been taken for laboratory analysis to check for melamine. Testing for melamine contamination is on-going. The latest detection brings the total number of affected products to 33.

11 AVA would like to assure the public that the levels of melamine detected so far in the affected products are low and hence unlikely to result in any adverse health effect. Consumers have to consume large quantities of the contaminated products over a prolonged period of time to be at risk of potential ill effects on health.
12 Based on the melamine levels detected by AVA, a consumer can safely take in:
