The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) on Jan. 10 said that it took the initiative to meet with Nestlé Hong Kong again, and confirmed the company's announcement today of an additional batch of powdered infant and young children formula suspected of having possibly used the raw material concerned.
Nestlé Hong Kong has voluntarily stopped sales, removed from shelves the affected products and has initiated a precautionary recall. The CFS has collected samples of powdered infant and young children's formula from the market for Bacillus cereus testing; the test results so far have been satisfactory. The Environmental and Ecology Bureau is also closely monitoring the supply situation of other formula milk powder and maintaining communication with other major suppliers. It is noted that there is sufficient formula milk powder to meet the demand.
The spokesman said the CFS has been actively following up on Nestlé's voluntary and precautionary recalls of certain batches of its powdered infant and young children formula in certain areas in Europe due to the possible presence of Cereulide produced by Bacillus cereus in the individual raw material. According to the latest information from Nestlé Hong Kong today, an additional batch of its powdered infant and young children formula imported into Hong Kong might have used the raw material concerned. The CFS had earlier enhanced surveillance in the market and collected a sample from the above batch for testing of Bacillus cereus. The test result of the sample was satisfactory. Nevertheless, as a precautionary measure, Nestlé Hong Kong has voluntarily stopped sales, removed from shelves the affected products, and has initiated a precautionary recall.
