BAYI ?
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Saya tadi penasaran banget sama makhluk yang satu ini (baca : gripe
water).

Begitu tanya pakdhe google...wuah...luar biasa banyaknya...saking
mumetnya(nggak ngerti bahasa londo)...saya copy paste saja yah disini.

As the investigators continued their inspection, Weinberg noted 24 bottles
of Woodward's Gripe Water on the store's shelves. He called the bottles to
Prusak's attention. When questioned, the president said he bought this
product from another source in the Bronx.

Woodward's Gripe Water contains dill oil or dill water, sodium bicarbonate,
alcohol, and other substances. Labeled for such medical uses as relieving
baby's hiccups and minor stomach upsets, the product has been used in a
number of other countries for years. In the United States, however, FDA
considers it an unapproved drug. FDA also requires it to be detained at U.S.
borders.

After Prusak informed the distributor that the product was illegal, "he
agreed to destroy the gripe water," Prusak says, "and signed an affidavit
attesting to this." As Prusak and the others watched, the man opened each
bottle and poured the contents down a sink drain.

After being warned by the customs agent against dealing in smuggled goods,
the distributor promised he would no longer handle either the ackees or the
gripe water. In addition, he provided the names and addresses of his
buyers--three grocery stores and three restaurants in Rochester and two
restaurants in Syracuse.

State inspectors made sure the ackees were removed from the grocery stores.
FDA's Buffalo district office notified the agency's New York district office
of the alleged sources of the ackees and gripe water for follow-up.

On June 7, 1996, under Weinberg's supervision, the distributor destroyed the
embargoed ackees by opening the cans and pouring a denaturing chemical over
the product.
