PINAYAGAN na ng Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ang pagbebenta ng pork-based products ng Mekeni Food Corporation matapos magnegatibo sa African Swine Fever (ASF) virus.
Lumalabas sa resulta mula sa SGS Philippines, Inc. na nagnegatibo sa ASF virus ang mga “raw meat products” at “pork-based products” ng Mekeni.
“Upon due evaluation of the submitted documents and as agreed during our meeting, please be advised that this Office allows the redistribution of these processed pork meat products that tested negative for ASF,” sabi ni Usec. Rolando Enrique Domingo sa sulat sa Mekeni.
“As a food business operator, it is your responsibility to be proactive in monitoring your products’ compliance to existing regulations as well as to ensure that appropriate measures and controls are in place to prevent the possible use of contaminated raw materials,”
Nauna nang nagpositibo sa ASF ang ilang produkto ng Mekeni, partikular ang Red Classic Hotdog 500g at Skinless Longaniza 200g.
