Thailand bans cream crackers from Malaysia
BANGKOK: The Thai Food and Drug Administration has ordered Malaysian-made Omodo cream crackers off the shelves after finding excess levels of melamine, the second product from Malaysia to be banned.
On Oct 21, it ordered all stores to remove Julie’s cream crackers made by Perfect Food Manufacturing (M) Sdn Bhd in Malacca for the same reason.
Thai FDA secretary-general Dr Phipat Yingseri said the crackers contained 6.08 milligrams per kilo of melamine, which is over the permitted 2.5ml/kg.
He said the Omodo cream crackers were also manufactured by Perfect Food and imported into Thailand by Markin International (Thailand), which is based in the southern city of Sungai Golok Narathiwat. — Bernama

M’sia crackers banned in Thailand for melamine risk
BANGKOK — Thailand’s health authority has removed a Malaysian-made brand of cream crackers from the shelves after detecting excessive levels of the toxic chemical melamine, officials said yesterday.
The Thai Food and Drug Administration said it found6.08 mg per kilogram of melamine in Omodo crackers, far above the 2.5 mg allowed.
The provincial FDA authority in Narathiwat immediately banned the sale of the crackers until they could be certified safe for consumption.
Melamine has been at the root of a major contamination scandal in recent weeks, with four babies dying and 53,000 children falling ill from consuming tainted Chinese-made dairy products.
Governments around the world have banned or recalled Chinese dairy products found to contain melamine, with the contamination recently spreading to Chinese eggs. AFP
