FDA - For Immediate Release June 23, 1999
ALL MILK AND MILK-CONTAINING FOOD PRODUCTS FROM BELGIUM TO BE DETAINED AT PORTS OF ENTRY
The Food and Drug Administration announced today that it is expanding the import alert issued June 11 on egg- containing products from Belgium to include milk-containing products such as cheese. The import alert recommends detention of products at ports of entry until importers provide laboratory test results showing the shipments are free of detectable levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and/or dioxins.  As with the June 11 import alert, today's expansion is a precautionary step.
