The Ministry of Health, via its Chemistry, Food and Drugs Division, is advising of a voluntary recall notice for several types of Merba cookies. A food alert notification was issued by the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) after small metal pieces were found in the products, produced during the period of 7th December, 2023 to 15th December, 2023.
The metal particles vary in size and consist of thin and long pieces. According to the manufacturer, MERBA B.V., the contamination was due to a broken agitator in a bakery fat storage tank. The tank was taken out of production. The consumption of these contaminated products poses a serious risk to one's health.
The Ministry is advising that the products have been imported and are sold locally. Therefore, the Ministry is urging persons who may be in possession of these recalled products to discontinue use immediately and to return the products to the place of purchase where possible.
Additional Information can be obtained by contacting the Office of the Director of the Chemistry, Food and Drug Division via email at [email protected] or phone at 217-4664, ext. 13101. The Ministry said it will continue to monitor the situation and advise the population as necessary. We are a small operation.
