KUALA LUMPUR: The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has ordered the recall of a mooncake imported from Malaysia after detecting E. coli at levels exceeding the allowed limits.
In a Facebook post, SFA said that E. coli was detected in Baker's Cottage's Snow Skin Signature Yam Mooncake.
It said the recall is ongoing.
"E. coli is a bacteria that is normally found in the intestines of people and animals. Foodborne pathogens like E. coli can be introduced during the production process when cross-contamination occurs.
"Consumers who have purchased the implicated products should not consume them."
SFA said those who eaten the mooncakes and have concerns about their health, should seek medical advice.
NST has reached out to Baker's Cottage for comment.
