             The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has detected milk in Smoof Acai Sorbet Pure imported from Brazil by Smoof Pte Ltd, which was not declared on the food packaging label.

2            As milk is an allergen, SFA has directed the importer, Smoof Pte Ltd, to recall the implicated product. The recall is ongoing.             

3            The presence of undeclared milk allergen in food could result in allergic reaction in individuals who are sensitive to it. Under the Singapore’s Food Regulations, food products containing ingredients that are known to cause hypersensitivity must be declared on the food packaging labels to protect consumers with food allergies.

Consumers who have purchased the implicated 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 products should seek medical advice if they have concerns about their health.
