BPOM pull out Realgood of markets

BANDUNG: All Realgood milk and cereal products have been withdrawn from stores and shops in Bandung, following a suspected food poisoning case involving hundreds of elementary school students in the city, the Bandung Food and Drug Agency said on Thursday.

Agency certification and information services head Euis Megawati said the stocks were withdrawn as a safety measure to help ensure the poisoning would not reoccur.

The agency had begun laboratory testing of the products to determine whether they were the cause of the suspected poisoning, Euis said. -- JP
