Salmonella Enteritidis has caused a recall of eggs from Teo Seng Layer Farm 1
Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) has been found in eggs imported from Malaysia’s Teo Seng Layer Farm 1 by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA). The stamp “CEJ027” on the eggs serves as a reminder of the afflicted eggs.
Product Details:
Farm code: CEJ027
Best before: All Batches
Only eggs with the farm code indicated above are implicated in this recall. Other eggs imported by BH Fresh Food Pte Ltd are not affected.
SFA has instructed all six importers to withhold or recall the implicated eggs because SE can result in foodborne illness if food is eaten uncooked or undercooked. As a precaution, BH Fresh Food Pte Ltd has been told in particular to recall the contaminated eggs that were sent to retail establishments for sale. There has been a recall. The contaminated eggs should not be distributed, and the other five importers have been instructed to do so. Additionally, the farm has been put on hold and is not permitted to export eggs to Singapore. The suspension won’t be lifted by SFA until the farm has resolved the SE contamination problem.
Eggs are safe to eat if they are properly cooked because heat can kill SE. Eggs that are raw or undercooked may contain SE, which can result in foodborne sickness. Diarrhoea, stomach pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting are some of the symptoms. Although the majority of people recover from the virus within a week, SE can seriously afflict the elderly, small children, and people with compromised immune systems.
Customers who have purchased contaminated eggs are recommended to properly cook them before eating. People who have eaten the eggs and are feeling sick should get medical help.
