...and i started blogging.
i believe there's no need for introductions. let's get straight to the matter at thand.
last friday, BFAD, the main agency task to test the safetiness of the food, medicine and all goods meant for human consumption, realeased its findings on a number of brands they tested for melamine content.
Finally! after 17 years!?...
weeks after our more fortunate asian neighbors declared their ban on china made dairy brands. finally, bfad (bureau of food assessment-delayed), made public their long-awaited and pleaded-for analyses disclosing two brands did contain the chemical ingredient melamine.
in effect it validates the ban on the sale of these brands on our chaste soil.
we really have to look with envy on how fast our neighbors were able to determine the contamination of chinese made milk products and wonder why our venerated bfad cant do the same in such swift manner. DOH even lectured one private testing firm based here because it was able to produce test results in a shorter span. now, how's that for a government agency?i believe there's no need for introductions. let's get straight to the matter at thand.

the firm did the job for them and gets sermonized for doing it.
why did it had to take that long?
do they have to wait until the public has gone drained from waiting?
is it how they conduct their test? perhaps, they had to consume the products themselves and waited to see if something happen to them. if they got ill that means the brand they had taken was tainted. if nothing happened, the brand was all right. perhaps some of them had some really tough gastro thus it added to the delay.
now, there were only about 30 brands named in the last results, two were found tainted. assuming there were two who were downed from the two brands found contaminated. so there are 28 bfad personnel left. now, there are still less than 200 more to be tested...our sympathies for those poor souls who put their lives on the line for all of us.
bfad has some use, afterall...
