Release Time:2014-10-24

Tingxin Feed Oil Incident continued to ferment. According to local media reports, Taipei "Health Bureau" urgently checked the eight butter products made by Tingxin Company, and took precautionary steps off the shelves on the 22nd. Previously there was a problem with lard, but now there is a suspected problem with butter. Taipei Health Bureau urgently checked the top eight butter products manufactured by the new company. On the 22nd, it took precautionary steps to get off the shelf.


After verification, the refined butter purchased by Lianxia Food Company from Dingxin Company was made into two products: Lianxia Niujing and frozen curry sauce. In addition, Weiquan has purchased "refined butter" to make spicy meat sauce. With Master Kang's two types of instant noodles, the Bureau has asked the operators to immediately notify downstream manufacturers to take off the shelves for recycling.


Jiang Yu-mei, acting director of the Food and Drug Administration, said yesterday that the agency had asked Vietnamese officials about the progress of the investigation many times through foreign libraries or e-mails, and had no results so far. Therefore, it decided to take eight products made from top-new butter off shelves preventively and estimate that they would affect 11 counties, cities and 14 downstream manufacturers, mainly to Western Point bakers. For the sale of mixed lard or not, Jiang Yu-mei decided to take them off shelves preventively. In response, further investigation is still needed.


Jiang Yumei said that according to Article 41 of the Food Safety Law, food is at risk of endangering health. If the operator and the official of the importing country fail to produce a certificate within two days, they should take preventive shelving. The Food and Drug Administration hoped that the Vietnamese authorities would provide a report as soon as possible, but always received a "still under investigation" response. Therefore, the Food and Drug Administration decided urgently yesterday that the Vietnamese question of butter should be preventively shelved.
