Thailand’s FDA warns against popular ready-to-drink product

[snoop1130]

 

The Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about a popular ready-to-drink product with black sesame, jelly, and grain. This comes after the product was found to exceed health and safety standards with coliform bacterial contamination. The drink, ‘Multi Grains Mix,’ is manufactured by Wow D.D. International Co. Ltd., and analyses from samples taken from the manufacturer’s location reveal the contaminant is present over allowable limits.

 

Further details in the FDA’s announcement revealed that the sample was obtained from Wow D.D. International Co.’s location in Bangkok’s Lat Phrao district. The sample was subsequently analysed by the Department of Medical Sciences.

 

The FDA’s disclosure further highlighted the specific product details listed on the packaging which state, “Multi Grains Mix ready-to-drink black Sesame mixed with jelly and grains, food registration number 60-1-03358-2-0051, production date: 10/07/2022, expiry date: 09/07/2024.”

Good. Fair warning. Pity is this article doesn't actually show the product/product label. One would think this would be a good idea when posting articles warning about the consumption of particular items.

And Bacillus cereus can be heat resistant....so the hot water might not kill it complete.

most probably every bacteria will die in it, so it is safe from that point of view

Yet I know of one cop who died of it.

So the FDA has no power to recall this from shelves and ban is distribution? 

[ignore it]

Thai FDA seems to be testing the antidefamation laws.

Bacillus cereus potentially lethal but FDA and press are not allowed to show clear picture of the product with full label and visible brand name due to defamation laws.

 

Unbelievable
