Yesterday night, at around 11.30 PM the Singapore Food Agency published a post on Facebook of a food recall.
Here is the message:
Food Standards Australia New Zealand has issued two food recall alerts due to the presence of undeclared allergens. The affected products are Chris’ Homestyle Plant Based Spring Onion Dairy Free Vegan 200g Dip (due to the presence of undeclared milk allergen) and Hanami Toasted Prawn Cracker (Original Flavour) (due to the presence of undeclared allergens molluscs [squid], milk and/or soy).
As the implicated products were imported into Singapore, SFA has directed the respective importers, Kaiser Foods (Singapore) Pte Ltd and Yen Investments Pte Ltd, to recall the products. The recalls are ongoing.
Allergen in food could result in allergic reaction in individuals who are sensitive to it. Under the Sale of Food (Food Regulation), food products containing ingredients that are known to cause hypersensitivity must be declared on food packaging labels to safeguard public health.
The presence of milk allergen, and molluscs [squid] and/or soy allergens do not pose a food safety issue to consumers at large, except for those who are allergic to milk, molluscs [squid] and soy respectively.
Consumers who have purchased the affected products, and who are allergic to milk, molluscs [squid], or soy should not consume it. Those who have consumed the implicated products and have concerns about their health should seek medical advice. Consumers may contact their point of purchase for enquiries.
