Peanut cake from Malaysia recalled for not declaring milk as an ingredient on its packaging label
A Malaysian brand of a popular Chinese New Year snack has been recalled by the the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).
Good's Veg. Peanut Cake was recalled after SFA found it contained milk, which was not declared on the food packaging label.
As milk is an allergen, SFA directed the importer, Goods Huat Hee Marketing, to recall the implicated products.
The recall is ongoing.
The implicated 200g product has a "best before" date of Dec 1, 2025.
Under Singapore's Food Regulations, food products containing ingredients that are known to cause hypersensitivity must be declared on food packaging labels to protect consumers with food allergies.
Milk does not pose a food safety issue to consumers at large, except for those who are intolerant of or allergic to milk.
Consumers who have purchased the affected products, and who are intolerant of or allergic to milk, should not consume them.
Those who are intolerant of or allergic to milk and have consumed the implicated products should seek medical advice if they have concerns about their health.
