Nestlè baby milk recall
Does anyone know if the chemical is a component of UV or solvent based inks?The Food Standards Agency has been informed that the chemical ITX (Isopropylthioxanthone), a component of printing inks used on some food packaging, may be present at very low levels in some liquid infant formula products.

Does anyone know if the chemical is a component of UV or solvent based inks?
It seems as it ITX was used in UV based inks.
It seems that RCA was performed formerly and the consequence was to ban ITX from some products, according to the results of migration tests.

Unfortunately I have no English translation
This is the English version Italian consumer group finds more ink-tainted food
Interesting flow of events ............ Goes to show when the Big Boys are under pressure, finger pointing is the order of the day and when alarm bells start to ring - all damage control and defense mechanisms are invoked.....
Next thing - they will start telling your grandmothers that ITX contamination from a nearby printing plant was leached to ground water subsequently given to the Cows
A wrong is a wrong.........IMO not owning up is simply nonsense. How can TT say its not on the banned list and yet a recall was imminent
Simon.....you were talking about ISO 26000 - Right - is that any use?

And what about the butterfly effect ?
Round 1 - goes to the consumers
Round 2 - damage control implemented
Round 3 - defense mechanisms raised but at the distraught of associates.
Round 4 - Coming soon! (Likely to witness in-fighting within comrades / and more media news)
ROund 5 - Brand New Market Leader takes over......Could it be "Parmalat"
