SINGAPORE: Various Cocobella Coconut Yoghurt products have been recalled in Singapore due to an undeclared milk allergen.
The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said on Saturday (Aug 23) that it has directed the importer, Made Brands, to recall the implicated products.
The affected products are the 150g and 500g yoghurt products of various flavours, with use-by dates between Aug 22 and Oct 5.
This comes after Food Standards Australia New Zealand issued a recall of the products earlier this week.
"Milk does not pose a food safety issue to consumers at large, except to those that are intolerant of or allergic to milk," said SFA.
"Consumers who have purchased the affected product, and who are intolerant of or allergic to milk, should not consume them.
"Those who are intolerant of or allergic to milk and have consumed the implicated product should seek medical advice if they have concerns about their health."
Consumers may contact the retailer where they bought the affected item if they have any enquiries.
"Allergens in food could result in allergic reactions in individuals who are sensitive to it," said SFA.
Under Singapore’s food regulations, food products containing ingredients that are known to cause hypersensitivity must be declared on food packaging labels to protect consumers with food allergies.
