Four Seasons Durian's mini D24 mooncakes recalled due to bacteria that can cause food poisoning
All batches of Four Seasons Durian's mini D24 durian mooncakes have been recalled due to the presence of bacteria exceeding maximum limits.
The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said it detected Bacillus cereus in the products as part of its regulatory sampling of mooncakes.
The agency has directed the manufacturer, Four Seasons Durian Pte Ltd, to recall the implicated products as a precautionary measure. The recall is ongoing.
"Bacillus cereus is a bacterium that is normally found in the environment and in the intestinal tracts of insects and mammals," said SFA in a media release on Sept 12.
"(It) is a common cause of food poisoning and affected individuals may experience an onset of symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhoea."
Customers who have purchased the implicated products should not consume them. Those who have consumed the mooncakes and have concerns about their health should seek medical advice.
They can contact their point of purchase for enquiries.
More information on the safety of mooncakes can be found on SFA's website.
