Russian juice and dairy company Wimm-Bill-Dann has sent an official inquiry to the US Food and Drug Administration after the company’s Milaya Mila milk was removed from grocery store shelves in New York.


Last week, several batches of Milaya Mila were removed from grocery store shelves because it allegedly contained sulfonamide, the use of which is banned in the US because of its potential to cause allergic reactions, reported Interfax.


WBD told Interfax it has requested that the FDA provides it with the results of tests and the method that was used to determine the presence of sulfonamide.


“We plan to conduct a full and careful study of all circumstances that served as the reason for the withdrawal of the milk from sale,” WBD’s press service said, adding that the company does not directly export its products to the United States.


The company said its dairy plants were fitted with equipment that conducts analysis for the presence of traces of antibiotics inhibiting and bacterial substances, including sulfonamide compounds.
