  SINGAPORE : Singapore’s Agri Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) said it is carrying out investigations to ensure that Indomie noodles available in Singapore are safe for consumption.

  This follows reports that Taiwan has banned Indomie’s Mi Goreng.

  Taiwanese authorities said para hydroxy benzoic acid, a preservative meant for cosmetics, was found in the instant noodles.

  Singapore’s AVA said para hydroxy benzoic acid is not allowed here in instant noodles.

  Tests have been carried out, but AVA is not initiating any recall at the moment.

  It said results should be completed soon.

  Indomie instant noodles are produced by Indonesia’s publicly—listed food giant PT Indofood Sukses Makmur. — CNA /ls

  If you noticed, its no longer indomie that is sold at supermarkets, and anywhere else, its ibumie. Very very long time ago already. Everytime I go restock, I try to look for indomie, but to no avail.

  If AVA say its indomie, then its not ibumie. Surely you trust our stat boards?

  just wondering, our AVA does checks all the time, how come, always reactive, never proactive..

  it would be nice to hear AVA making some discovery and other countries scrambling and not always vice versa.
