Melamine hysteria #5 - AVA why the delay?


The AVA (Agri-Food and Vet Authorities) yesterday recalled a whole bunch of Khong Guan and Julie biscuits. It's about time too. Malaysia had already incriminated them all a week ago.

I can't imagine what took the AVA so long. Couldn't they have acted on the basis of information sharing with our Malaysian counterparts? Meanwhile, the stuff remains on our shelves??

Don't like saying this but I am increasingly losing faith in their ability to protect our food safety.
