IMAGE: http://chrongmeng.blogspot.com/2008/05/silang-house-of-steamed-potato.htmlYesterday, I came across a little trader selling hampers and food items. An item caught hold of my attention. It is the ‘Silang House of Steamed Potato Cracker’. Here in my hometown still selling this product. I'm not sure if this product is contaminated or not but it looks likely to be containing of milk. In Singapore this product is already banned.
My humble advice to the authorities is to advertise products that are contaminated through media and to pass the flyers around to the little traders. I do not blame it is entirely the fault of the traders to sell this products because they do not have the time to check the products if the salesmen did not confront them. Make a major call back for this product too. Stern penalty must also be taken to the distributors or traders who do not follow the guidelines given. I want eat safe and feel safe as a consumer and living in Malaysia as well.

Singapore detects melamine in five more products
SINGAPORE: Singapores food authorities have detected melamine in five more products imported from China.
Two are flavoured milk and three are confectioneries containing milk powder as an ingredient, according to AgriFood & Veterinary Authority (AVA) of Singapore.
They are Dutch Lady’s Banana Flavoured Milk and Honeydew Flavoured Milk, Silang House of Steamed Potato Potato Cracker, and Puffed Rice Rolls with Butter Corn Flavour and Cheese Flavour.
This brings to eight, the total number of affected products found in Singapore.
The other products which were earlier found to have been contaminated with melamine are Yi Li Choice Dairy Fruit Bar Yogurt Flavoured Ice Confection, Dutch Lady Strawberry Flavoured Milk and White Rabbit Creamy Candy.
In its latest advisory here, AVA said there was no need for the public to be unduly concerned as it had suspended the import and sale of all milk and milk products from China since last Friday.
It also said the levels of melamine detected in the products here were low and hence, unlikely to result in adverse health effects.
The public need to consume large quantities of the contaminated products over a prolonged period of time to have any potential illeffects on health, AVA said. - Bernama
