In the midst of the melamine scandal that has hit China’s dairy companies and seen thousands of children taken to hospital, people have been more cautious of where there food is sourced from and so they should be. The Singapore government has gone all out to reassure its people that they do not import any eggs from China after authorities found contaminated eggs in Hong Kong.
SINGAPORE: The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) said Singapore does not import eggs from China.
Most of the eggs available here come from accredited poultry farms in Malaysia, while the others come from local chicken farms.
AVA added that processed egg products from China are also not sold in the retail market. [Channel News Asia]
Malaysia on the other hand, has reassured people that not only do they buy eggs from China, they also buy vegetables and fruits from there as well. But they say, it’s ‘safe to eat’.
KUALA LUMPUR: Vegetables, fruits and eggs imported from China are safe for consumption, the Health Minister has assured worried consumers.
Health Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said there has been no delay in entry of perishables at ports as the authorities were aware that the items “cannot be stored longer than three to four days.”
It is understood that vegetables and fruits from China make up more than three-quarters of the imported fruits in the Malaysian market. [The Star Online]
Like I said, it’s like Black and White.
Safe China imported foods you CAN eat:
The China-made products are Variety Flavour Biscuits (Golden Fuji), Strawberry Flavour Round Biscuit (Aji), Potato Cracker (Aji), Farley’s Rusk Orange (Heinz), Farley’s Rusk Original (Heinz), Oatmeal Cracker Coffee Flavour (Haitai) and Mini Cornetto Blueberry & Strawberry Flavour (Wall’s).
