Published Date:
03 October 2008
HORSHAM district food retailers are being asked to withdraw from sale four Koala Cookie products because of possible contamination with Melamine.
The products affected are:
Koala Chocolate Cookies 49g
Koala Strawberry Cookies 49g
Koala Yummie Cookies Chestnut 49g
Koala Melon Cookies 49g
The recall is being undertaken purely as a precautionary measure, as these products may contain low levels of Melamine.
The biscuits are unlikely to be a risk to health.
Melamine is a chemical used widely in plastics and has been linked to kidney failure but, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has said the risk from composite products (food containing a proportion of milk product) is low. However, some people may choose not to eat them.
Horsham District Council has liaised with local retailers in the Horsham District to ensure that the products have been withdrawn from sale.
