Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority (ADFCA) has recalled some soft drinks and bottled water products from sale.
The distribution of a 250 mg canned mango juice from Milco, manufactured in Sharjah, was stopped due to some manufacturing defects, said a statement issued by ADFCA. Chunks pineapple, a Del Monte canned juice from Philippines weighing 836 gm, was recalled because pork was among the ingredients mentioned on the product label. The 6-litre water bottles from Pure Spring Water (Salsabil) were detained for further tests because of excessive bromine content.
The Milco product was seized by the Authority's inspectors from Abu Dhabi Cooperative Society in Al Bateen area, Fatima Supermarket, Millennium Supermarket on the Airport Road and Al Safa Supermarket on Electra Road with the following manufacturing and expiry dates respectively: 31/1/2010 – 31/10/2010, 9/12/2009 – 9/9/2010, 15/11/2009 – 15/8/2010 and 31/10/2009 – 31/7/2010.
The Del Monte product, imported by Al Maya Supermarket (manufactured in December 2009 and to expire in December 2010), was seized as its label disclosed the presence of pork among the ingredients.
As for the Salsabil water bottles of 6 litres (No 17:22, manufactured on 7/11/2009 and to expire on 6/11/2010) which are sold by Middle East Supermarket, the bromium content was found to be far in excess of the permitted limits.
