Forty children fell ill, allegedly after ingesting XPOP Energy Cola Fizz lollipops at Lotusville Primary School's market day on Friday.The product batch of XPOP Energy Cola Fizz lollipops which allegedly led to suspected food poisoning at a Verulam school was sent to an independent laboratory for chemical and microbiological testing on Friday afternoon.
Cassim added the company followed a similar process in February this year after an incident involving food poisoning claims regarding its XPOP Energy Red Dragon lollipops. “After submitting its lollipops for testing, however, an independent laboratory, KLM High-Giene Solutions, verified the lollipops were free of bacterial contamination or causes that could relate to ill health, confirming that the lollipops were safe for consumption.
“Richester Foods pride ourselves on maintaining the strictest hygiene and safety standards and we are acting swiftly to ensure there are no weaknesses in our quality control processes or manufacturing systems. We are also contacting the relevant entities and authorities to share updates on our progress and are determined to act with complete transparency,” he said.
