The Government Analyst Food and Drug Department of the Ministry of Health has discovered three additional brands of milk originating from China, in Guyana.
These brands are CREAMY Evaporated Milk, Country Maid Evaporated Milk, and Polly Sweetened Condensed Milk.
The department has since been informed by the importer that there is a consignment of 1,400 cartons of Country Maid Full Cream Milk Powder currently on its way to Guyana.
The Analyst Food and Drug Department has so far seized over 50 cartons of the Milky and Creamy brands and 340 cartons of the Country Maid brand from the markets and from an importer’s bond.
Consumers are being warned to carefully read labels of milk and milk products including chocolate, biscuits and candies to ensure that they were not manufactured or packaged in China before making purchases.
Director for the Department, Marilyn Collins, is appealing to wholesalers and retailers of these products to voluntary remove milk and milk products made in China from their shelves, and to promptly notify the Department or the respective Environmental Health Department.
The decision by the Department to remove milk packed or manufactured in China came as a result of a discovery of the substance melamine in the milk, which resulted in the deaths of some children due to kidney failure.
Kaieteur News has since learnt that the importers of the product are denying that they imported the items.
