Raw milk cheese from France recalled due to possible presence of bacteria
An imported raw milk cheese from France is being recalled as it might contain bacteria.
In a Feb 6 statement, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said it has directed importer Le Petit Depot Pte Ltd to recall Reflets De France's Morbier AOP au lait cru due to the possible presence of shigatoxin-producing E.coli (STEC).
The affected product has a use-by date of March 29.
The recall is ongoing and comes after a notification issued by the European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed.
STEC infection can occur by consuming contaminated food, particularly raw or unpasteurised milk. Symptoms include diarrhoea, stomach cramps and vomiting.
SFA said: "Food contaminated with STEC may not look or smell spoilt but can cause serious infections."
Consumers who have purchased the implicated product are advised not to consume it. Those who have eaten it and have concerns about their health should seek medical advice.
