The Coca-Cola Company is reassuring consumers in Singapore that all its products are safe and made from ingredients that are approved for use by local regulatory authorities throughout the world.
The company released a statement in response to an article 'PepsiCo finds traces of fungicide in Tropicana orange juice' published earlier in The Straits Times Online.
The report cited that the fungicide scare was triggered when the Coca-Cola Company - maker of Minute Maid orange juice - said it had discovered carbendazim in shipments from Brazil and alerted United States (US) authorities about a potential industry-wide problem.
In response to the issue in the US, the company said in its statement that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had stated in a letter dated Jan 9, 2012, that 'based on a preliminary risk assessment conducted by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the EPA has concluded that consumption of orange juice with carbendazim at the low levels that have been reported does not raise safety concerns'.
