Rasanya Pemerintah perlu memberikan klarifikasi. Kebetulan saya penggemar berat mi instan. Wassalam, Jacky Mardono. ===================== Marts pull noodles on Taiwan sickness alert Rebecca Yu Monday, October 11, 2010 Two leading supermarket chains have stopped selling Indomie instant noodles after Taiwan authorities found banned preservatives in the Indonesian product. The Centre for Food Safety has been testing the noodles and will follow up the incident with the importing company and dealers. Its Hong Kong importer said the noodles in Taiwan may have been brought in illegally. While some people said they will buy other brands, Indonesian domestic helpers said they will keep eating the noodles because they taste good and are cheap. Taiwan authorities announced the recall of Indomie instant noodles on Friday after two forbidden preservatives, methyl p-hydroxybenzoate and benzoic acid, were found. The preservatives are allowed only in cosmetics. They have been banned for use in food in Taiwan, Canada and Europe. If consumed, the preservatives cause vomiting. Furthermore, if they are taken for long periods or in substantial amounts, they may cause metabolic acidosis - a condition due to too much acid. ParknShop and Wellcome have removed all Indomie products from the shelves of their supermarkets. The Indomie importer, Fok Hing (HK) Trading, said the noodles meet the food safety standards of Hong Kong and the World Health Organization, citing a June quality examination that did not find banned preservatives. "The Indomie noodles are safe to eat and they entered the Hong Kong market via legal import channels," it said. "The poisoned products found in Taiwan are suspected of being imported in illegal ways." An Indonesian supermarket, East-Southern Cuisine Express in Causeway Bay, said in a notice in Chinese that its Indomie noodles are not smuggled goods and are safe. A package of five bags of Indomie instant noodles costs about HK$10 while other brands cost from HK$15 to HK$20. Indomie gained popularity in Hong Kong after an advertisement showed little boys dancing and flying after eating a bowl of the noodles.
