Salmonella detected in Australian-imported salami, SFA orders recall
A type of salami imported from Australia is being recalled in Singapore after it was found to contain Salmonella.
The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said on July 24 that it detected the pathogenic bacteria in Primo Reserve Hot Sopressa Salami, imported by Alternative Selection.
As a precautionary measure, SFA has directed the importer to recall the affected batch. The recall is currently ongoing.
The contaminated product has a "use by" date of Sept 9, 2025, and originates from Australia.
Salmonella is a harmful bacterium that can cause food poisoning. Symptoms may include diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fever, nausea and vomiting.
Consumers who have purchased the affected salami are advised not to consume it. Those who have already eaten the product and are concerned about their health should seek medical advice.
Customers may also contact their point of purchase for further enquiries.
More information on Salmonella in food can be found on the SFA website.
