MANILA, Philippines — An official from the Department of Health on Friday said that the Philippine production of instant noodles from the "Lucky Me!" brand is not affected amid product recalls from four countries.

 

This comes after Taiwan, France, Ireland and Malta recalled variants of the brand's instant pancit canton and noodle products after health authorities discovered pesticide residues in them.

 

"Meron ho tayong local manufacturer nitong food product na ito kung saan ang atin pong mga ginagamit ng mga sangkap nito at tsaka iyon pong pagsasagawa ay dito po sa atin sa Pilipinas," DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said in a briefing on Friday, referring to the "Lucky Me!" brand.

 

("We have a local manufacturer for this food product which uses local ingredients and processes them here in the Philippines.")
