Posted by Labels: China, Contamination, FDA and USDA, Pesticide and HerbicideEdited and translated by Ye Xin
In late December, Coca-Cola Co alerted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that it had detected low levels of carbendazim in its own juice, as well as in samples taken from a competitor's orange juice and juice concentrate imported from Brazil.
In addition, Coca-Cola China said in a statement on its website on Jan 12 that Orange juice containing extremely small amount of the fungicide will not cause health hazards.
However, Professor John W.S. Ho from the Department of Biochemistry under the Chinese University of Hong Kong challenged the interpretation. He pointed out that the carbendazim, like other pesticides, has the greatest impact on brain and it can cause partial paralysis.
In China, this kind of orange juice Minute Maid produced by Coca-Cola is still on sale in supermarkets and stores.
Some of consumers, who bought Minute Maid said they never heard this news, some adopted an indifferent attitude and only a few of the consumers said they will never buy the drink in the future.
