SFA recalls brand of instant vermicelli noodles due to undeclared gluten, wheat allergens
The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has issued a recall for a brand of instant vermicelli noodles due to undeclared gluten and wheat allergens. The recall involves all batches of Haichijia brand's Hua Jia Jiang Hu (Clam Vermicelli), which has been brought into Singapore from China by importer Hong Xin Da. "Allergens in food could result in allergic reaction in individuals who are sensitive to it," SFA said in a news release on June 11. It added that under Singapore's food regulations, food products that contain ingredients known to cause hypersensitivity must indicate them on packaging labels to protect consumers with food allergies. Gluten and wheat does not pose a food safety issue to consumers at large, except for those that are intolerant of, or allergic to, gluten and wheat, SFA said. Consumers who have gluten and wheat allergies or intolerances should not consume the product. They should also seek medical advice if they have consumed the implicated product, and if they have concerns about their health. Consumers may contact their point of purchase for enquiries.
