US Enfamil Not Imported Into Malaysia

   Health director-general Datuk Seri Dr Hasan Abdul Rahman said the Food Safety Information System of Malaysia (FoSIM) and Enfamil’s producing company, Mead Johnson, had confirmed the matter.
  “Malaysians do not need to worry, as the product is not on the list of imports,” he said in a statement issued today.
  He said US-based hypermarket Wal-Mart had recalled the product following reports alleging a baby had died from consuming Enfamil, which was believed to be contaminated with Cronocbater bacteria.
  “However, to be on the safe side, the ministry will be conducting a Level 5 Test (seize, test, release) on Enfamil, should it be imported in the future,” Hasan added.
  He said if the public suspected the safety of any food products, they were encouraged to lodge a report to the nearest District Health Office, State Health Department, or through their web site at http://fsq.moh.gov.my/v3
