Japenese pizza and sausage poisened by cyanid
Itoham Foods Inc. announced it had recalled 2.67 billion packs of goods after it came out, that the water used at the producing food containes cyanogen compound exceeding the accepted standard.
Japanese
ham and sausage producer Itoham Foods said it will voluntarily recall
13 products after toxic substances were found at above-standard
levels in the water used at one of its factories.
Worries
about food safety have been mounting in Japan. Earlier this week nine
cups of noodles were found to contain poison, and one maker recalled
half a million cups of the popular product.
Itoham Foods
said that underground water used in the plant near Tokyo was found to
contain cyanide ions and cyanogen chloride at levels that exceeded
Japanese standards, but that it did not believe the products, if
eaten, would pose a health threat.
Itoham said
that it detected 0.02 to 0.03 milligram per litre of the two
substances in the water, which is above the Japanese standard but
below the standard set by the World Health Organisation.
No health
problems have been reported.
