Food and Drug Administration has confirmed that the ingredients of Dakasi milk tea that killed 1 person and hospitalized 60 more last September 24 and 25, 2013 was indeed contaminated by bacteria.

Dr. Kenneth Hartigan-Go, acting Director General of FDA, said that the microbial contamination was due to 'mishandling of the raw ingredients.'

"The importation of such raw ingredients require registration by a licensed importer distributor prior distribution and use by this type of establishments," he added.

ABS-CBN also specified in its report that the 17 ingredients used by the Dakasi Tea House tested positive for E. coli, coliform, salmonella, and molds and yeast.

Here's the lab results as forwarded to DOH-CHD 6 in Mandurriao:

Smallville Complex, San Rafael) of Mandurriao, Iloilo City, regarding food poisoning incidents. The summary of results however does not provide determine link to the reported cases. . NEVERTHELESS, THE RESULTS, PARTICULARLY THOSE THAT FAILED MICROBIAL STANDARDS INDICATE POTENTIAL MISHANDLING OF THE RAW INGREDIENTS THAT RESULTED TO MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION. Further, the importation of such raw ingredients require registration by a licensed importer distributor prior distribution and use by this type of establishments.

  6. It is a hidden enemy which can attack any time which termed as herpes outbreak.

    A doctor should try as many different pills, creams
    and ointments as he or she can before finding the correct one.
    They also reduce pain, itching and fever and lower chances of transmission to
    other people.

  9. One of those ways is to join in with classes on MMA - Mixed Martial Arts In Ocean Springs Mississippi.

    Although any martial art will most likely help to alleviate the symptoms of depression, the following have received the most attention. Ultimately the benefits derived from any Martial Art comes from the instructor
    and not the art itself.
