‘White Rabbit’ candy, 3 Chinese products laced with formalin
The Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) on Tuesday ordered the pullout of four Chinese products from the market after testing positive for formalin.
Deputy Director Joshua Ramos said distributors of the White Rabbit creamy candy, Milk Candy, Bairong grape biscuits and Yong Kang Foods Grape Biscuit had been given 15 to 30 days to pull out their products.
Ramos said BFAD tests discovered that the four products contained formaldehyde or formalin.
He also advised consumers of the products to call BFAD’s hotline 842-560! 6 to report if they are feeling sick after eating any of the products.
