SINGAPORE, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has recalled a salad mix imported from Australia after tests detected levels of Bacillus cereus exceeding permissible limits.
In a statement on Thursday, the agency identified the product as Coolibah Herbs Gourmet Salad Mix and said the recall is ongoing. Consumers who have purchased the product are advised not to consume it.
Those who have already consumed the salad mix and are concerned about their health should seek medical advice, the SFA added.
Bacillus cereus, a bacterium commonly found in the environment and in the intestinal tracts of insects and mammals, is a frequent cause of food poisoning. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. ■
