Eight types of Indomie Instant Noodles and another parallel product Indomie Mi Instan have passed Centre for Food Safety tests. They were conducted after certain batches of Indomie instant noodles imported into Taiwan from Indonesia were found to contain a non-permitted preservative and the level of another preservative exceeded the legal limit.
The centre contacted the Hong Kong sole agent of the noodles and took samples for tests, which were found to comply with Hong Kong regulations.
The centre has been conducting sale checks on retail outlets with particular attention to Indonesian food shops and small scale retailers in addition to investigation work with the Hong Kong sole agent. The surveillance checks will continue.
