White Rabbit Candy - Caution
-
The Newpaper today (19 July 2007) has an article that states that White Rabbit Candy have been recalled from Phillippines as it was found to contain Formaldelyde.
The article also states that our AVA is currently conducting tests on the Candy in Singapore and that the results will be out soon.
This article should be out in tomorrow's The Newpaper Online. -

When will China learn the need for a proper quality control and industrial safety standards culture? It's not very funny when people are literally dying because of this! -
woooo.. da bai tu nai tang! ytd i just ate a box. alamak now i feel uneasy
>.< -
The radio news this morning seemed to say that the Rabbit candy is cleared of any toxic chemicals....and that the Philippino parties are likely to be sued for having issued irresponsible statements before test results were out.
So, i guess we'll continue to see White Rabbit candy commercials on tv before CNY.

And the Rabbit is White again
By Tan Hui Leng, TODAY | Posted: 21 July 2007 0716 hrs
The taint of formaldehyde has been washed off White Rabbit Creamy Candy as tests done here revealed that those sold in Singapore are safe for consumption.
The tests were conducted by the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) on Wednesday after four products were withdrawn by the Philippines' Food and Drug Agency for possible formaldehyde contamination. The products are White Rabbit Creamy Candy, Milk Candy, Balron Grape Biscuits and Yong Kang Foods Grape Biscuits.
Formaldehyde is a cancer-causing chemical that is not permitted for use as a food additive. It is also used in resin production and is well-known as a preservative and embalming fluid.
Of the products, only the White Rabbit Creamy Candy is imported into Singapore. However, AVA also conducted tests on Bairong Grape Biscuits as it sounds similar to Balron, which is banned in the Philippines.
AVA's tests indicate that there were minute amounts of formaldehyde in the samples of both products tested. However, it noted that formaldehyde occurs naturally at low levels in a wide range of foods.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has established a Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) of 0.15 mg per kg body weight for formaldehyde. Based on this, normal consumption of the White Rabbit Creamy Candy and Bairong Grape Biscuits that AVA tested would not pose a health risk, it added.
"The presence of the minute amounts of formaldehyde could be due to its natural occurrence in the ingredients used for making the products," said AVA in a statement on Friday. "There is no evidence to suggest that formaldehyde was added to the products as a preservative."
Some 275,000 kg of White Rabbit Creamy Candy and 269,000 kg of Bairong Grape Biscuits were imported into Singapore last year.

i think they figured if formalin can be used to preserve bodies, it can be used as a preservative
that being said, i'm trying not to eat anything that is "Made in China"
but still, there are reports of the counterfeiters in China putting "Made in Taiwan" or "Made in Hong Kong" tags on their crap -
