Recall of raw milk cheese products due to potential presence of Shiga Toxin-producing Escherichia Coli

              The European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed has issued a notification on the recall of Fromagerie Gillot raw milk cheese products from France due to possible presence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC).

2            As the implicated products were imported into Singapore, the Singapore Food Agency has directed the importers, Cold Storage Singapore (1983) Pte Ltd and Little Farms Pte Ltd, to recall the products. The recall is ongoing.

3            STEC infection can occur by consuming contaminated food, particularly raw or unpasteurised milk and its products. Food contaminated with STEC may not look or smell spoilt but can cause serious infections. Symptoms of STEC infection can include diarrhoea, stomach cramps, and vomiting. More information on the safety of raw or unpasteurised milk and its products can be found at: https://www.sfa.gov.sg/food-safety-tips/food-risk-concerns/risk-at-a-glance/is-raw-milk-safe-to-consume.
