The health authorities of Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) has not received any report of people getting sick after consuming the Brand's Essence of Chicken, which was recalled in the U.S., according to a press statement released on Tuesday by the SAR government's Food Safety Coordination Group (FSCG).
The FSCG said in the statement that it is "highly concerned" about the recall of Brand's Essence of Chicken in the U.S., which was mainly due to the products' failure to meet the relevant inspection and exemption requirements there.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service under the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced last Thursday the recall of 2,858 pounds of Brand's chicken essence products in the U.S. market.
Brand's Essence of Chicken is the core product of Cerebos, which is part of Japan's Santory Group. Following the recall, Cerebos (Hong Kong) Ltd. issued a statement which insisted that the recall in the U.S. was due to compliance issues and "not related to quality and safety issues."
Local supermarkets, pharmacies and other retail outlets have resumed the sales of the Brand's Essence of Chicken Monday after some of the retailers removed the products from their shelves on Sunday, the Macao Post Daily reported on Tuesday.
After the U.S. recall, relevant departments of the SAR government have urged local retailers to follow the products sales and import situations, according to the FSCG statement.
The daily quoted representatives of local retail outlets as saying that they never received any instructions from the local government to stop selling the product.
The Brand's products were imported to the Macao market via a Hong Kong agent from the America mainland, according to the daily.
