CFS staff have also inspected major retail outlets and found no affected products available for sale so far.

The CFS has liaised with the US authorities and alerted the trade to the incident.

The CFS will continue to closely monitor the case and take appropriate follow-up action. Investigation is ongoing.

The trade should stop selling the products concerned.
