WELLINGTON Carl Gunnarsson Jersey , Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra failed to recognize the "explosive" risk to its reputation caused by its global botulism scare in August when it first surfaced, according to an independent inquiry commissioned by the company's board of directors.


The inquiry report, released Tuesday, made 33 recommendations to improve help avoid a repeat of the fiasco that saw a global recall of products after a batch of whey protein concentrate (WPC) was falsely identified as having been contaminated with a bacterium that could cause botulism.


The inquiry team found a number of factors, including a lack of senior oversight of crucial decisions Jaden Schwartz Blues Jersey , problems with tracing potentially affected product and belated escalation of the issue, contributed to the event in August this year.


"There were shortcomings in a number of areas, which, compounded by a number of events and co-incidences, converged to create this significant issue Vladimir Tarasenko Blues Jersey ," Jack Hodder, who led the inquiry team, said in a statement.


The inquiry found that as well as failures in WPC testing and the preparation and cleaning in regimes, the company was "unable to promptly and definitively track the destinations" of the affected WPC batches.


Staff also belatedly recognized "the explosive reputational risk involved" to Fonterra's global reputation and delayed informing senior management and the board.


Fonterra's crisis management planning, including external communications Jaden Schwartz Salute to Service Jersey , was inadequate for the event and the external communications were "not well executed."


The report also highlighted a "lack of alignment and confidence between Fonterra and the New Zealand government in the critical fortnight after the contamination concerns were advised to the government and made public."


Fonterra chairman John Wilson said the board was fully committed to implementing the recommendations made.


"Much of the recommended change is already underway, or has already been identified as needing to be changed," he said in the statement.


The board would also reconvene the independent inquiry committee in nine months and again in 18 months to assist in reviewing progress.


Chief executive Theo Spierings said the report provided Fonterra management with important in-depth observations and recommendations.


"We have learned lessons from what has been a difficult experience, subsequently found to be a false alarm. We understand the anxiety caused at the time to our customers, regulators Vladimir Tarasenko Salute to Service Jersey , shareholders and other stakeholders, both in New Zealand and around the world, and especially parents concerned for the welfare of their children," Spierings said in a statement.


Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy issued a brief statement saying the government noted the release of the Fonterra inquiry into the WPC "incident."


"It is important to note that this is Fonterra's inquiry and the government has its own inquiries underway into the incident," Guy said.


The government's own Ministerial Inquiry was expected to deliver an interim report in mid-December Authentic Jaden Schwartz Jersey , and the Ministry for Primary Industries' compliance investigation was expected to be concluded by the end of the year.


BEIJING, March 21 (Xinhua) -- Uncle Sam has long been in the grip of many addictions, such as muscle-flexing, preaching and borrowing, but there has turned out to be one more: kibitzing.


The latest symptom of the obsession with unwanted counseling emerged into plain sight earlier this week Authentic Vladimir Tarasenko Jersey , when Robert Thomas, commander of the U.S. Navy Seventh Fleet, whose country is not a party in the South China Sea disputes, advised ASEAN countries to form a combined maritime force for joint South China Sea patrols and even called for more Japanese involvement.


The urge for presumptuous commenting escalated to a call for naked intervention on Thursday, as a handful of U.S. big-name senators Cheap Jaden Schwartz Jersey , in a letter to State Secretary John Kerry and Defense Secretary Ash Carter, wrongfully pointed an accusing finger at China and clamored for a U.S. strategy to stop what is actually China's legitimate activity in South China Sea.


Such outside kibitzing, not to mention outright meddling, is way out of line for a party that has publicly committed itself not to taking sides on the South China Sea disputes, which are between China and some Southeast Asian nations.


That borders on double-dealing. The commander's proposal smacks of a thinly veiled attempt to cobble together a coalition on the opposite side of China Cheap Vladimir Tarasenko Jersey , and the senators' cry sounds like a scheme to stoke misunderstanding and mistrust in a region where Washington is bent on keeping its hegemonic presence.


But the machination is fraught with faulty assumptions and doomed to fail. For starters, one troublemaker cannot alter the overwhelming commitment of parties involved in the South China Sea disputes to safeguarding regional stability and solving the issue through peaceful means.


Southeast Asian countries are clear-eyed enough to see through the U.S. calculus and perceive the hidden agenda behind Washington's overt enthusiasm, and thus refrain from being led astray by the pied piper of the United States.


Meanwhile, despite the incessant hyping of the "China threat" cliche, the freedom of navigation at South China Sea has never been a problem. The true risk is that relentless exaggeration might someday achieve its sinister goal of sowing discord and eventually throw up waves in the busy body of water.


Thus what Washington should focus on is not the "alarming scope and pace of" what China is doing Jaden Schwartz Jersey , but the "alarming scope and pace of" the U.S. meddling, not least the emboldening effect of its "pivot to Asia" strategy on certain hotheads around the South China Sea.


It is high time that Uncle Sam stop making irresponsible remarks and retract his meddlesome hands, so as to allow the parties directly involved in the South China Sea dispu.
