The BFAD advisory, which was signed by Director Leticia Barbara Gutierrez, said that the ban on importation and sale would be in effect until further notice from this bureau when data are presented assuring the products' safety and fitness for human consumption. BFAD reiterated that there is no infant formula produced in and imported from China that is registered with the agency. BFAD advised consumers not to purchase and use outright infant formula from China that might have been brought into the country through unauthorized means. Consumers were also warned not to purchase for the time being, milk products that are manufactured or sourced in China until further notice from this bureau when data are presented assuring the products' safety and fitness for human consumption. The BFAD advisory reiterated the agency's call to local officials to conduct investigation on the unauthorized import of infant formula and milk products manufactured in China. Inspecting all China milk products Gutierrez said Tuesday that they are inspecting all milk products in the market due to the melamine contamination crisis on Chinas milk products. Regional inspectors will be collecting samples of milk products present in the market. Still, were concentrating on the milk products coming from China, she told ABS-CBNs early morning show Umagang Kay Ganda. The BFAD on Monday has already ordered a stop to the distribution and sale of milk products from major Chinese dairy companies Mengniu Dairy Co. and Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group due to suspected melamine contamination. Well be doing this inspection for around two to three weeks as well be collecting from different regions in the country. Gutierrez stated that the BFAD has the inspection under control as they have the proper technology and manpower to examine the milk products and give proper instruction to its distributors, importers, and manufacturers. The Bureau of Food and Drugs is equipped with State of the Art equipment that will be used for testing the presence of melamine in all the products. Yesterday we came out with a public health advisory and its posted on our website and we are telling all the license importers and distributors of the bureau not to import, distribute, sell, or offer to sell any of the products until or unless we find that it is fit for human consumption. Gutierrez said that milk products will be given more priority, although attention will also be given to the inspection of candies, chocolates, and other products containing milk. We also receive reports that some candies and chocolates supposedly contain melamine so were collecting samples of those as well. Still, our main priority is the examination of actual milk samples because these are given to babies, to infants, she said. Gutierrez stressed that if the BFAD found some milk products to have no melamine, these can be purchased and consumed by the public. If there are no traces of melamine in a milk product, we could say that its safe for consumption since none of the chemical was added when it was manufactured, said Gutierrez DTI working with BFAD Undersecretary Zenaida Maglaya of the Department of Trade and Industry said Tuesday that a task force was created in order to monitor other milk brands should they take advantage of the shortage of milk products as a result of the melamine crisis. We currently have a task force that monitors other milk products should they take advantage of this crisis. Were working with the BFAD, and Secretary Favila has already issued a directive so provincial offices as well can help us. Well make sure that no one would take advantage of the situation, thinking that were only examining products coming from China. Maglaya said that along with the BFAD, the Bureau of Customs also has a role in preventing the distribution of melamine-contaminated milk products. Yes the Bureau of Customs ought to check milk products entering the country. The BFAD as well plays an important role in inspecting these products so distribution can be prevented should these are found to contain melamine. Maglaya continued to remind the consumers not to buy repacked milk products, as well as products without labels. There is a possibility that repacked milk products actually come from China, thus the possibility for melamine content. We couldnt say for certain, but the important thing here is for consumers to not buy products that do not have labels. Consumers cannot determine the contents of the product if it doesnt have any label, and it could not be traced to its manufacturer. Milk products from China pulled out SM, Robinsons, and other big supermarkets have already pulled out Monday milk products that came from China even before a directive was released to remove them for possible melamine content. None of the liquid or powdered milk products made in China can be seen in over 60 supermarkets all over the country. However, there are still soya milk products present in the market which are made in Hong Kong and China since this isnt part of the scope of recall. Milk products from China now require a certification from BFAD before these can be returned to grocery shelves. Supermarkets and groceries also demand this BFAD certification as proof that these products have passed the departments inspection. For those who have already bought milk products made in China, supermarkets and groceries said that they could have them replaced for other brands. But since news came out regarding the melamine contamination, many consumers have stayed away from milk products coming from China.Since January 2008, more than two million kilos of milk are imported by the country from China. Given this, the DTI is now working extra hard on monitoring these products, especially the repacking process. Related Download • BFAD Advisory No 8, Sept. 22, 2008
