Georgetown: Consumers are being warned that someone or a company is selling a white substance as flour packed in a 4.5 kg bag marked Product of Guyana. The bag is labeled “Regal Superior Quality Long Grain Rice Packed for Regal Distributors Ltd. Kingston Free Zone, Jamaica” and carries no expiry or manufacture date (see Picture attached).
National Milling Company of Guyana Inc, Managing Director, Bert Sukhai said “we would like to inform the public that we have not authorized anyone to re-package our products. In fact we have been dissuading Supermarkets, shops and Grocery stores from doing so as it is unhygienic. We are the only flour miller in Guyana and we can safely say from our tests that this white substance is not Namilco’s flour.”
On our visit to Linden this week we have noticed a lot of these packages being sold. Whoever is doing the packaging of this product is putting people’s lives and health at risk. We have written the Food and Drug Department and the Guyana National Bureau of Standards in this regard and hope they will take corrective action.
Namilco will not accept responsibility for any repercussions emanating from the consumption of this product.
We are an ISO 9001 certified company and we adhere to strict guidelines and Standards.
