Hunan province agency issues prompt apology for erroneous test reports
Mead Johnson Nutrition (NYSE: MJN) confirmed that the Hunan Provincial
Credit Construction Promotion Council has issued an apology for
erroneous reports based on invalid testing related to the presence of
Vanillin in infant formula products. The quality and safety of Mead
Johnson's products and the regulatory compliance of its infant formula
manufacturing processes were separately confirmed by the local office of
the China AQSIQ (General Administration of Quality Supervision,
Inspection and Quarantine).
"We have an unwavering commitment to the integrity of Mead Johnson
products, and are pleased that their quality and safety have been
confirmed by the Chinese authorities and that the erroneous reports have
been refuted," stated Matthew Chapple, Senior Vice President and General
Manager - China. "Not only do our products comply with all Chinese laws
and regulations, but they also meet or exceed all international
standards - such as those defined by CODEX - as well as our own rigorous
global standards. Samples of all of our infant formula products undergo
hundreds of safety checks and quality tests before we ship them to
market."
"It is important to emphasize that all Mead Johnson products continue to
be safe and parents can use them with confidence, as they have for
generations," added Mr. Chapple. "We highly value the trust we have
earned from parents and healthcare professionals around the world and
remain dedicated to our mission to nourish the world's children for the
best start in life."
