Disinfectant found in White Rabbit sweets
RECALL IN THE PHILIPPINES
July 20, 2007
THE already-bad reputation of Chinese food exports took another blow on Tuesday when the Philippine government ordered the pullout of four Chinese snack products.
The four products removed are Milk Candy, Bairong Grape Biscuits, Yong Kang Foods and the popular White Rabbit candy.
The Chinese candies and cookies had tested positive for formalin, a saturated solution of formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is a disinfectant linked to cancer in humans. It is also well-known as a preservative and embalming fluid.
Major supermarkets and malls have 15 to 30 days to remove the contaminated items, said Mr Joshua Ramos, deputy director of the Bureau of Food and Drugs.
He also advised consumers to report if they felt sick after eating any of the formalin-laced products.
In Singapore, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) tested samples of White Rabbit candy for testing yesterday and will confirm results in a few days.
Of the four products banned in the Philippines, only White Rabbit candy is imported here.

Will athletes dare to eat the food when they go to the Olympics next year?

Since McDonald's is one of the official sponsor of Olympics, maybe they will use Chinook helicopters to airdrop McSpicy Extra Value Meal Upsize on China for the athletes..Originally posted by Viper`:Will athletes dare to eat the food when they go to the Olympics next year? -

if its fake you can taste the difference, there was once I bought a packet of white rabbits sweets and it tasted like crap, extremely sweet to the extent of disgusting and not chewy at all. I threw it away. Later when I thought about it, it probably was fake sweets. the real ones taste nice.
