FDA FINDS INSTANT NOODLE SAUCE PACKETS FORM JAPAN NUKE AREAS|食藥署查日輻食品 首見泡麵湯料包中標

As the FDA continues to conduct spot checks to identify food products from radiation-affected Japanese prefectures, sauce packets that come with instant noodles became the latest target identified as problematic. According to FDA statistics, more than 39 products so far, mostly natto products, have been red-flagged, and over 60,000 items have been pulled from the shelves. The FDA has found ingredients imported from nuclear-affected prefectures in several packaged food products from Japan. In the latest update of the FDA's special audit project, instant noodles sauce packets have also been identified as problem products. ==WU MING-MEI, Section Head, FDA Northern Center== As of yesterday, a total of 39 self-reported and confiscated products are suspected to come from the 5 nuclear-affected prefectures. These items have been submitted for examination. Products have found to be in violation so far include instant noodles sauce packets and natto products by Yumaoyu, Asia Food, Pohong, and Yishin companies. Two more products are still being examined. These products are sold at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi and Sogo department stores. Although they have been removed from the shelves, incidents of violations in the past few days have raised concerns for the public. ==CONSUMER== I will look at the labels to find out where the product comes from. (So you will avoid food imported from Japan?) For the time being, yes. ==CONSUMER== I try not to buys items are already prepared, like instant noodles that have all the ingredients ready. I try to avoid products like that. The vendors said that these products have been taken off the shelves, and consumers can get a refund with their receipts. The FDA said 39 products have been submitted to the Energy Bureau for examination. 26 of them were tested free of radioactivity, and 13 products are still awaiting results.
