Friday 17 October 2008
Food Alert: for Information
Ref: 55/2008
Scobie (Llarn) Ltd has withdrawn certain varieties of novelty products that have been tested in the UK and found to be contaminated with melamine.
The affected products were manufactured in Zhongshan, China by Le Bang and imported in the UK by Scobie (Llarn) Ltd and sold to a number of Ann Summers premises in the UK.
On 15 October 2008 the European Commission adopted a decision (2008/798/EC) stating that any products from China containing milk or milk products as an ingredient are currently subject to documentary, identity and physical checks, including laboratory analysis, to determine that any levels of melamine present in the product do not exceed 2.5 mg/kg. Those products with more than 2.5mg/kg will be destroyed. The levels of melamine detected in these products were 126mg/kg,153mg/kg and 259mg/kg respectively.
The Agency’s risk assessment, based on the EFSA statement, is that these specific products are unlikely to be a risk to health.
Scobie (Llarn) Ltd. has removed the affected products from sale and will be issuing point-of-sale notices to advise consumers of the reason for the withdrawal.
