Question:
You are the food safety regulatory affairs manager of a big supermarket chain in a small country.
The population of the country is about 10 million. Your company enjoys about 35% of the total food sales in the country.
A consumer group has tested some brands of honey bought from your supermarket chain, and one of the brands was found to contain unacceptable levels of oxytetracycline (an antibiotic). Your country does not have legislative requirements / standards for this antibiotic in honey, but the consumer group says that the levels exceeded the European Commission (EC) standard.
The Chief Executive Officer of your company has asked you to prepare a press release to communicate the risk associated with the product to be published in tomorrow's newspapers. You have to do it as soon as possible to discuss it with company board members this afternoon.
Compose the press release to be discussed with the company board members before sending it for publication.
