Nestlé Singapore has initiated a product recall involving two batches of Milo snack bars after concerns emerged over the possible presence of rubber fragments.
The recall was announced after the local distributor informed the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) of a voluntary recall conducted by the manufacturer in Australia. The affected products were identified as part of a wider precautionary measure overseas.
According to the authorities, the recall relates to specific batches of Nestlé Milo snack bars that may contain foreign matter described as rubber. While there have been no immediate reports of injury, the potential contamination prompted swift regulatory action.
Precautionary Recall Underway In Singapore
Following notification from Nestlé Singapore, SFA directed the importer to recall the implicated products as a precautionary safeguard. The recall process is currently ongoing.
Under the Sale of Food Act, any food deemed unsafe for human consumption must not be made available for sale. Retailers are therefore required to remove the affected batches from shelves, and distributors must ensure that remaining stock is withdrawn from circulation.
Consumers who have purchased the specified Milo snack bars are strongly advised not to consume them. Instead, they should return the products to their original point of purchase for further assistance or clarification.
Consumers Advised To Seek Medical Advice If Unwell
Although the advisory emphasises that the recall is precautionary, members of the public who may have already consumed the affected products and are experiencing health concerns are encouraged to seek medical advice promptly.
Food safety remains a top priority in Singapore, with regulatory authorities taking a zero-tolerance approach to potential contamination. Swift recalls such as this underscore the importance of robust food quality assurance systems and supply chain monitoring.
Nestlé’s Milo brand remains one of the most widely recognised household names in Singapore, particularly among families and school-going children. As such, news of the recall has drawn significant attention from parents and consumers alike.
SFA has reiterated that it will continue to monitor the situation closely and ensure that necessary measures are taken to protect public health. Consumers are advised to stay updated through official channels and check product batch details carefully before consumption.
