What are you doing to inform owners/ employees of Chinese restaurants and takeaways?
All of the six products from which samples were taken have been removed from use in the catering outlets where they were found. There is no reason for people to avoid eating at these or any other outlets. The Food Standards Agency is taking further action where possible to ensure that these products are removed from wider use and distribution and has today (21 August 2002) issued a Food Hazard Warning to Local Authorities alerting them to the unacceptable products. The Agency has also approached the importers, owners of affected catering outlets and other Chinese organisations directly.
