• The CFS suspected that the production plant indicated on the food labels of the products concerned was not their place of manufacture in Indonesia.
• Upon receiving intelligence, the CFS initiated an investigation immediately. Preliminary investigation showed that the production plant indicated on the food labels of the above-mentioned products ceased production of those products at the end of March last year. Some of the products were suspected to be manufactured by a production plant which had not been given import permission by the Director of the Food and Environmental Hygiene (DFEH). The CFS has therefore instructed the importer to recall the products concerned. Furthermore, the CFS has taken samples of the products concerned for microbiological and chemical tests and the results were all satisfactory.

• The CFS has notified the Indonesian authorities, alerted the trade to the incident and referred the case to law enforcement agencies for follow-up in parallel.
• The CFS has also revoked the letter of permission for the importer to import the products concerned.
• The CFS will continue to follow up and take appropriate action.

• Stop sale of the products concerned, regardless of batches.

• Stop consuming the products concerned.
