Recall of two additional formula milk products due to presence of cereulide toxin

         The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has detected cereulide toxin in two additional formula milk products (one meant for infants and the other meant for children above one year old). As a precautionary measure, SFA has issued a direction to recall the implicated products. The recall is ongoing.

 2         Details of the implicated products are as follow:

*While SFA has earlier completed the testing of all infant formula products being sold at major retail outlets in Singapore, SFA detected this batch following ongoing market surveillance

^ Following the completion of infant formula milk products testing, SFA expanded our testing to include formula milk products meant for children above one year old. We have since completed testing of such formula milk products sold in major retail outlets in Singapore.   

3            Since our last update on 30 January, there have been no additional cases who had developed mild symptoms likely associated with cereulide exposure after consuming the affected products. All three earlier cases have since recovered. Currently, there are no definitive clinical laboratory tests available to confirm cereulide poisoning. The Communicable Diseases Agency is working closely with SFA and is conducting surveillance with medical practitioners to monitor for potential cases of cereulide poisoning in children.

4         Consumers who have purchased the affected products are advised not to feed them to their children. Those whose children have consumed these products and are unwell should seek medical advice promptly. Consumers may contact their point of purchase for product enquiries.

5          The implicated batches of imported infant formula milk products make up about five per cent of our imported supply of infant formula milk products, and they are a minority of overall infant formula milk products available in Singapore. For the implicated batches of formula milk product meant for children above one year old, they represent a negligible portion of the overall market supply, with alternative options readily available.
