The problem is the notice of detention....in JA you can't give no notice...just go in and sieze everything...

"These products are not coded or tested..."

I sometimes wonder if the Jamaica Bureau of Standards is just another poorly run institution.

How can a company manufacture products that have: no Lot #. No form of tracability. No quality testing?

And I read (recently) where a Jamaican delegation is heading to China..to sell stuff.
~~~SIGH~~

Ackee Warning
(here we go again with this crap)

THE Bureau of Standards Jamaica yesterday warned members of the public, particularly retailers and hoteliers, to be on the alert when purchasing ackees in brine.

The advisory was issued in wake of an inspection of Santa Cruz Processors in Brae's River, St Elizabeth, which found that the establishment -- an ackee processor -- was operating in contravention of the Processed Food Act.

"The company is therefore not authorised to process canned ackees in brine for distribution or sale, and its products are unsafe for consumption and should not be traded," the bureau said in a press release yesterday.
The bureau said that following the inspection a 'Notice of Detention' was issued for seizure of the canned ackees in stock, but alleged that they were unlawfully removed from the establishment.

"These products are not coded or tested, and the Bureau of Standards Jamaica cannot guarantee their wholesomeness," the release said.
The Bureau of Standards, an agency of the Ministry of Industry, Investment & Commerce, is charged with protecting consumers through standardisation, measurements and regulations.
