Subject of News Report Gokongwei: URC Vietnam can recover from food safety issues
Date of Publication Jun 10, 2016
Clarification of News Report

We refer to your letter dated June 10, 2016 with respect to the news article entitled “Gokongwei: URC Vietnam can recover from food safety issues” posted in abs-cbnnews.com on June 10, 2016. The article reported in part that:

“. . . .

URC was fined P12 million in Vietnam after tests found that its most popular beverage brands --- C2 and Rong-do have high lead content.

. . . .”

Universal Robina Corporation (URC) would like to reiterate that the issue on two of its beverage products is strictly confined to Vietnam. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has confirmed that none of URC’s products in the Philippines is involved or affected. Although the FDA has cleared its products in the Philippines, URC continues to communicate and coordinate with the FDA to provide them with information they may need to exercise their functions. In Vietnam, URC has completed the retrieval of the two batches of products manufactured in URC Hanoi that were the subject of the recall order and has paid the fine imposed by the Ministry of Health in the amount of US$261,000.00. URC firmly believes that the issue in Vietnam will eventually be resolved as it remains committed to transparency and cooperation with the Vietnamese government. This will then allow URC to regain focus on providing products of the highest quality that resonate well with the Vietnamese consumers. URC would like to emphasize that it adheres to the highest standards of safety and quality and upholds its commitment to do so in all countries where it operates.
