The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has ordered a recall of honey dates imported from China by Yan Tai Yit.
Sulphur dioxide was detected in the honey dates which was not declared on the food packaging label, SFA said in a statement.Sulphur dioxide is an allergen which can result in an allergic reaction for individuals who are sensitive to it.
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, SFA said. Sulphite does not pose a food safety issue to consumers at large, except for those who are intolerant of or allergic to sulphites.
