Nestle withdraws cereal product from US on pesticide concerns
Geneva (AFP) Nov 4, 2008 The world's biggest food company Nestle said on Tuesday it was withdrawing from the United States a Brazil-manufactured milk cereal product that may contain traces of a pesticide not approved for the product in the US. Nestle's spokeswoman told AFP that as no standard had been set for the level of the particular pesticide in the US for wheat, therefore, it believed that it may be asked to withdraw the product at some point. It was therefore taking a "preemptive action" by withdrawing the product called Nestle Farinha Lactea, she added. "As there is no standard set, we believe that at one point in time, the FDA would tell us to withdraw the product," she said. She added however that the pesticide level in the product "is far below" limits in Brazil and in the European Union. Related Links Farming Today - Suppliers and Technology
