Chinese medicine Wintex Tong Hang Wan Pills are being recalled by Hong Kong Medicine Manufactory.
The Department of Health said today the recall has been ordered after the Macau Health Bureau found excessive yeast and mould in the product.
The affected batch (number PN0702W1), a total of 1,530 boxes, was manufactured in 2007. About 670 boxes were exported to Macau with the rest supplied to pharmacies in Hong Kong.
The product is for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.
The department is investigating the issue. The manufacturer has set up a hotline (2421 6382) to answer enquiries. Consumers are advised not to consume the product.
