HK issues warning on peanut products with possible Salmonella contamination

HONG KONG, March 3 (Chinese media) -- The Center for Food Safety (CFS) of Hong

Kong advised people Monday not to consume certain batches of peanut products

manufactured by Brown Haley which are suspected of being contaminated with

Salmonella.



U.S. authorities said the manufacturer concerned was recalling the products

in the country distributed between March 21, 2007 and Feb. 26, 2009, according

to the center.

"According to information of the manufacturer and the local distributor,

the affected products have been exported to Hong Kong," said the center in a

statement.

"The CFS has followed up with the Hong Kong distributor of the products and

learned that the lots bearing the same UPC Codes were no longer on sale in the

local market," said the center.
