Reiteration Post

The Bhutan Food and Drug Authority (BFDA) has detected that the recalled batch of the below-mentioned products is still available in the market across the country. As confirmed by the Thai Food and Drug Administration through the South-East Asia Regulatory Network (SEARN), the affected batch has failed microbial contamination testing and is therefore deemed unsafe for use.

In this regard, the BFDA reiterates its notification to the public and business entities that the specific batch (Batch No: 000332) has been recalled. Any remaining stocks of this batch must be immediately withdrawn from sale and submitted to the nearest BFDA office for safe disposal.

**Important Clarification: The recall applies only to the specific affected batch
identified through testing and does not imply that the product as a whole is unsafe.**
