SINGAPORE: Two batches of Nestle Milo snack bar products have been recalled due to the potential presence of rubber in them.
The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said in a media release on Friday (Feb 13) it was informed by Nestle Singapore on the voluntary recall of various Milo snack bar products by the manufacturer in Australia.
This was due to the potential presence of foreign matter, the agency said.
As a precautionary measure, SFA has directed the importer, Nestle Singapore, to recall the implicated products.
The affected products are:
- Product name: Nestle Milo Snack Bar (Original)
Size: 210g (box of 10 bars), or 21g per bar
Batch no: 5324TD15
Expiry date: Aug 31, 2026
Country of origin: Australia
- Product name: Nestle Milo Snack Bar (Dipped)
Size: 270g (box of 10 bars), or 27g per bar
Batch no: 5322TD15
Expiry date: Aug 31, 2026
Country of origin: Australia
The recall is ongoing, SFA said.
In response to queries from CNA, Nestle Singapore said on Sunday that it notified SFA as soon as it was made aware of the issue, which originated at the co-manufacturer of the product imported from Nestle Australia.
In a press release on their website, Nestle Singapore said it was in close coordination with SFA as they "manage this situation".
On its website, Nestle Australia said that it was recalling a select number of batches of Milo snack bars after a contract manufacturer experienced an equipment failure in their facility, which resulted in "small pieces of black rubber being dislodged during production of the products".
Investigations indicate only a small number of products are affected; however, out of an abundance of caution, Nestle is recalling specific batches to ensure consumer safety, it said.
Under the Sale of Food Act, foods known to be unsafe for consumption should not be sold.
SFA said that consumers who have purchased the implicated products are advised not to consume them.
"Those who have consumed and have concerns about their health should seek medical advice.
"Consumers may contact their point of purchase for enquiries."
