SINGAPORE — A brand of seafood rolls is being recalled because egg was found in the product, but was not declared on the packaging label.

In a statement on Thursday (Feb 8), the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said that it has directed Li Chuan Food Products, the importer of Li Chuan’s Seafood Roll, to recall the affected product.

The product originates from Vietnam and has an expiry date of Jan 7, 2026.

A search online shows that the company's various products, including crab sticks and fish balls, are sold by NTUC FairPrice supermarket, though the seafood roll is not listed.

SFA said that egg is not of concern when it comes to food safety for most consumers, but it is an allergen and some people may get an allergic reaction on eating it if they are sensitive to it or their bodies do not tolerate it.

“Under Singapore’s food regulations, food products containing ingredients that are known to cause hypersensitivity must be declared on food packaging labels to protect consumers with food allergies," the agency added.

“All ingredients in prepacked food should also be specified on the product label in descending order of the proportions by weight in which they are present.” 

It told consumers who have bought the product to not eat it if they are intolerant of or allergic to eggs. Those who have done so should seek medical advice.

"Consumers may contact their point of purchase for enquiries."
