    White Rabbit Creamy Candy and Bairong Grape Biscuits from China Safe for Consumption

    Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore 5 Maxwell Road #04-00 Tower Block MND Complex Singapore 069110 Fax: (65) 62235383 WHITE RABBIT CREAMY CANDY AND BAIRONG GRAPE BISCUITS FROM CHINA SAFE FOR CONSUMPTION The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) has conducted tests on the White Rabbit Creamy Candy and Bairong Grape Biscuits from China and found them to be safe for consumption. 2 The tests were conducted following reports that four products - White Rabbit Creamy Candy, Milk Candy, Balron Grape Biscuits and Yong Kang Foods Grape Biscuits – were withdrawn by the Philippines’ Food and Drug Agency for possible formaldehyde contamination. Of these products, only the White Rabbit Creamy Candy is imported into Singapore. However, Singapore also imports Bairong Grape Biscuits, which has a similar name to Balron Grape Biscuits. Samples of both Bairong Grape Biscuits and White Rabbit Creamy Candy were taken for testing. 3 Formaldehyde is a chemical that is not permitted for use as a food additive. However, formaldehyde occurs naturally at low levels in a wide range of foods. The World Health Organization (WHO) has established a Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) of 0.15 mg/kg body weight for formaldehyde. 4 Our tests indicate that there were minute amounts of formaldehyde in the samples of White Rabbit Creamy Candy and Bairong Grape Biscuits tested. However, based on the TDI established by WHO, normal consumption of these products would not pose a health risk. The presence of the minute amounts of formaldehyde could be due to its natural occurrence in the ingredients used for making the products. There is no evidence to suggest that formaldehyde was added into the products as a preservative.

    2​Nd​- Into 3​Rd​- Grade Summer Reading List

    nd rd 2 -​ into 3 -​ Grade Summer Reading List ​ ​ *============================* Liz Perry, Librarian for Stacey Hubbard, 2020 Listed below are books to read to your children and books for your children—if they are ​ ready—to read on their own. A fine guide to reading comfort is a thoughtful evaluation of your child’s response to what sits in his or her lap: Is he or she mastering most of the words on the page? If there is frustration, consider an easier read. For your own read-aloud interest—and to connect with stories you might have encountered long ​ ago—books below are separated into categories contemporary and classic. While books published more than 50 years ago may have old-fashioned views, they represent takes on cultural views and rituals of family life that become more varied (politically correct) in later works of fiction. It is worth noting that an “adventure” a hundred years ago could dwell in the simplest of activities: finding stray buttons while dusting or following a butterfly across a meadow. What is worthy of the term “adventure” in juvenile literature today? Parent read-alouds are still rewarding social exchanges even with proficient readers, and conversation around stories can give revealing glimpses into how your child experiences and interprets the world. I Can-Read/Ready-to-Read Series While there are many worthy reads in this genre featuring books children will want (and perhaps need) to read multiple times, choices below tend toward more traditional illustration and a gentler narrative voice. As you make your selections, try to avoid cartoon-like formats that sometimes over-simplify the beauty of nature or caricature the human form.

Its food processing industry was minimally affected by the downturn and achieved a new record high output of RMB4.5 trillion ($662 billion). China’s continuing growth, increasing disposable income, expanding emerging city development, growing urbanization, rising interest in food safety and interest in new foods are expected to continue generating major opportunities for high quality U.S. food ingredients. Post: Beijing ATO Executive Summary: This annual report reviews development of China’s food processing industry in 2009 and examines trends and prospects for 2010. The ongoing global economic crisis has created many challenges for China and other major economies. In China, these problems manifested itself in the closure of many small and mid-sized companies in the coastal provinces, reduced FDI, and falling customer visits to high end hotels and restaurants. However, thanks high growth in the interior and a large Chinese government stimulus of $588 billion, China ended up with 8.7 percent percent growth in 2009. China’s food processing industry was minimally affected by the economic downturn and maintained its rapid growth in 2009, continuing its 30 year old rapid expansion.
