1 Deliberately Added Chemicals to Food Sudan Red & Melamine Case Studies Dries Pretorius Department of Health Directorate: Food Control
2 FOODSTUFFS, COSMETICS AND DISINFECTANTS (FCD) ACT, 1972 (ACT 54 OF 1972) AND RELATED REGULATIONS Controlling the sale, manufacture, importation and exportation of Foodstuffs Approximately 50 sets of Regulations divided into 13 Categories available at:
3 Science Consumer Confidence Legislation Trade Politics Public Health Media Managing Food Safety Incidents
4 Information sharing is key to managing hazards in foods Identification of Hazards in Food Evidence in food No evidence of illness Evidence of hazard at production level Food Safety Authority Evidence in food Evidence of illness Public Health Authority Several possible authorities Not detected in food or no food available Evidence of illness
5 RISK ASSESSMENT APPROACH Provision made for inclusion of standards set by reputable bodies/countries in National Legislation e.g. MRL s of Codex and EU Responding to information/requests received from Food Industry representative bodies e.g. SAAFoST, CGCSA (FSI), ILSI Analysis of Notifications received from International Food Safety Alert Systems related to exports from South Africa e.g. RASFF and National Food Safety Alerts Responding to information made available by the media, internet, consumer bodies etc. ( horizon scanning )
6 FCD ACT 54/1972: REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO SPICES Regulations Relating to Colourants in Food (R.1008/1996): Lists permissible colourants Sudan Red is not listed for use in spices NB!! The use of the colourant Sudan Red in spices is thus ILLEGAL in South Africa!!
7 Sudan Red: 2005
8 Price per kg received March 2005 Sudan 1 Belief: certain suppliers mixing local with (cheaper) imported chillies/chillie powder and sold as local = > Chillie price Receipts Local Jan- 03 Feb- 03 Mar- 03 Apr- 03 May- 03 Jun- 03 Jul- 03 Aug- 03 Sep- 03 Oct- 03 Nov- 03 Dec- 03 Jan- 04 Feb- 04 Mar- 04 Apr- 04 May- 04 Jun- 04 Jul- 04 Aug- 04 Sep- 04 Oct- 04 Nov- 04 Dec Imported Contributing factor?
9 Six EU countries representing 35%
10 (INCLUDING SPICES)
11 March 2005 Sudan 1 Direct cost to SA s largest spice company: Losses close to 8 figures!! Indirect cost: Loss of sales People & travel costs Loss of consumer confidence Damage to brand
12 March 2005 Sudan 1 Other Results. Loss of consumer confidence in government as agent to protect consumer Loss of consumer confidence in food industry food industry is lying & out to poison / defraud consumer Newspapers protect consumer Birth of CGCSA Food Safety Initiative in response to Sudan Red and other issues
13 February 2006
14 March 2005 Sudan 1 Other Results Indian Spice Board co-operated: Increased testing Improved Certificates of Analysis Commitment to Sudan-Red free exports Local spice industry took action CGCSA Food Safety Inisiative leadership in assuring consumers of cleaning up industry in 90 days Port Health started checking consignments (local products???)
15 March 2005 Sudan 1 Four NB lessons learnt: 1. Sudan Red not homogenously mixed into chillies 2. Imported chillies not the only danger 3. Sudan Red contamination not limited to powdered chillies (also whole chillies/chillie flakes involved only in SA!!) 4. Lab capacity in SA extremely limited iro Sudan Red testing
16 FOODSTUFFS COSMETICS & DISINFECTANTS ACT ( ACT 54 OF 1972): SUDAN RED MONITORING - SUPPLY CHAIN OF CHILLI POWDER & FINAL PRODUCTS IMPORTED PRODUCTS LOCAL PRODUCTS??? FINAL PRODUC T (Sauces, Spices) (1) CHILLIE POWDER (Ingredient) WHOLE/ FLAKES (Raw Material) FARMERS (Producers of Whole Chillies CHEMICAL INDUSTRY (Sudan Red Suppliers??) PROVINCIAL PORT HEALTH SERVICES (Compliance Monitoring) MILLERS / GRINDERS (Manufacturers of Chillie Powder) (2) MANUFACTURERS OF FINAL PRODUCTS (Spices, Sauces, Atjar, Chakalaka, etc.) FOOD INDUSTRY (Supplier Verification) PROVINCES / MUNICIPALITIES (MHS) (Compliance Monitoring) DoH LABORATORY SERVICES (Sample Analyses) WHOLESALERS, RETAILERS etc. OF FINAL PRODUCTS DoH LABORATORY SERVICES (Sample Analyses) High Priority Control Points Low Priority Control Points (3) (1) Import CONSUMERS (2) Manufacture (3) Sale
17 Sudan Red: March 2007
18 March 2007 Sudan 2 Direct cost to largest spice company: Close to 7 figures!! Media was wrong!!! (could not verify results/tests of laboratory used) Results: Consumer thoroughly confused + heightened awareness Spotlight on food safety and food in general in SA by media (much unwarranted) Industry has no standard for tests, methods, labs
19 3 WORKSHOPS CONDUCTED ON SUDAN RED IN FOODSTUFFS Lessons learnt from Sudan I & II Presented in 2007/08 in Rustenburg, Cape Town and Durban By Department of Health Directorate: Food Control Consumer Goods Council of SA Food Safety Initiative (FSI)
20 PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOPS: To ensure that industry and Government jointly addresses the challenges related to the contamination of chilli powders/products with the illegal colourant, Sudan Red, in the interest of consumers health and to protect the reputation of the South African food industry, and to prevent a repeat of the incidents that occurred in 2005 and 2007
21 Please, let it be SUDAN RED FREE!!
22 (113) (110) (3) Samples of Chilli Products analysed for Sudan Red -2009/10
23 51 samples analysed 2 contained Sudan Red
24 RISK ASSESSMENT APPROACH Adopt/Adapt risk assessments conducted by FAO/WHO bodies supporting Codex e.g. JECFA Conduct Toxicological Assessments/Evaluations of Agricultural Chemicals/GMO s registered by DAFF, set National MRL s e.g. pesticides, vet drugs Ensure National RA bodies follows Codex RA Guidelines e.g. GM Scientific Advisory Committee Ensures appointment of scientific experts on National RA bodies e.g. Allergen Expert appointed on GM Scientific Advisory Committee Utilize INFOSAN assistance regarding rapid risk assessments e.g. Melamine, Cadmium in pineapple products
25 In cooperation with FAO WHO
26 WHAT IS INFOSAN? A global network of national food safety authorities that Promotes the rapid exchange of information during food safety related events Shares information on important food safety related issues of global interest Promotes partnership and collaboration between countries, and between networks Responds to requests for assistance during international food safety events Helps countries strengthen their capacity to manage food safety risks
27 South Africa

Lifted Detention Order Industry instituted Recall Media obtained/ published info
32 Technical Consultation on Objectives Review current knowledge Chemistry Analytic methods Occurrence in food and feed Toxicity Estimated dietary exposure Health risk assessment Identify knowledge gaps to guide research Melamine
33 FOODSTUFFS, COSMETICS AND DISINFECTANTS ACT, 1972 (ACT 54 OF 1972) Regulations Relating to Maximum Levels for Melamine in Foodstuffs (R.1054 of 6 November 2009) (a) All foodstuffs which contain more than 2.5 milligrams melamine per kilogram; (b) All infant formulas, foodstuffs intended for children under 36 months of age and foodstuffs for special dietary uses, which contain more than 1 milligram melamine per kilogram.
