Announcements
Infant formula
The Food Standards Agency has been informed that isopropylthioxanthone,
a component of printing inks, may be present at low levels in some
liquid infant formula products. Some liquid infant formula products
sold by Nutricia and SMA may be affected. On the basis of current evidence
the Food Standards Agency does not consider this to be a food safety
issue requiring consumer action. It is advising parents and carers
that there is no need to change their baby’s feed.
New packaging
TEVA UK has begun to replace its existing APS-branded retail packaging
with new generics packaging. The replacement programme will take over
a year and will start with the most frequently used products. Information
packs and details of the new style are available on
