Hong Kong Govt Recalls Contaminated Taiwanese Beverage

Consumer, Law & Order

A product recall and government announcement has pushed Hong Kong residents to stop drinking a Taiwanese product suspected of contamination.

Hong Kong's Centre for Food Safety has urged the public not to consume three kinds of energy drinks produced in Taiwan which might have been contaminated with Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate/Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP).

A spokesman for the CFS stated it had received notification from the Taiwanese authority that consignments of three kinds of drinks had been distributed to Hong Kong. Those drinks are Speed Sports Drink 600ml, Speed Sports Drink (Lemon Flavour) 600ml, and Dong Nung 1000 Sports Drink.

The origin of the problem is reportedly believed to be use of a clouding agent in the drinks which has been adulterated with DEHP, a plasticizer.

The CFS has contacted one of the importers Jet Win Food Ltd. which indicated that it was now recalling the affected products on its initiative.
