The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has conducted a recall of two mooncakes from food companies Fragrance and Joymom’s.
In a media release on Wednesday (27 September), the agency said that aflatoxins – which can occur in foods as a result of fungal contamination – were discovered in Fragrance’s single-yolk lotus paste baked mooncake.
Meanwhile, SFA also found Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) – a bacterium which is a common cause of food poisoning – in Joymom’s Musang King snowskin mooncake.
