Meat Products (Canned Goods) Safe From Melamine Contamination
In our continuing effort to inform the public on the melamine scare, I would like everyone to know that the Department of Health (DOH) and Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) released on Monday a list of meat products (canned good) that are found safe from melamine contamination. The DOH-BFAD took the initiative to test these products for melamine content just to satisfy the need to determine if meat products are also contaminated by melamine. The reason behind this is the growing number of meat products sold in the Philippine market that are made in China. This move is simply a precautionary measure according to DOH-BFAD.
The list of meat products found negative for melamine content is given below:
- Argentina corned beef chunky 190 g
- Changlong pork luncheon meet 170 g
- Great Wall brand premium ham luncheon meat 340 g
- Gulong china (Well known mark) pork luncheon meat 340 g
- Liberty pork luncheon meat 375 grams
- Maling Canned pork luncheon meat 397 g
- Maling chunky corned beef 150 g
- Maling pork luncheon meat 170 g
- Maling pork luncheon 397 grams
- Maling premium pork luncheon meat 397 grams
- Maling Vienna sausage 140 g
- Narcissus brand pork minced with bean paste 185 grams
- Narcissus brand premium luncheon meat 397 g
- Narcissus brand spiced pork cubes 142 grams
- Narcissus brand stewed pork 397 grams
- Pure Foods Chinese style luncheon meat 165 grams
- Pure Foods corned beef 210 grams
- Shanghai brand Chinese luncheon meat (new budget size) 165 grams

O, thank God, I’m not a canned-goods patronizer. Good to know they’re melamine negative. Naalala ko yang Maling, medyo popular dati, pero di ko natikman. Mas masarap yata ang sardinas, hehee!

Mhy,
Yes, maling is melamine-free. There is a brand of meat product (I think the name was Meling, a China-made brand and obviously a clone). I’m not sure if it’s safe from melamine but if the food item is made in China, people are already afraid to buy. The melamine scare is really affecting the Philippine economy.
