SINGAPORE: Authorities have as a precaution instructed all Nong
Shim shrimp crackers to be pulled off the shelves immediately.
The Agri—Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) issued the recall
because the company which makes the snacks, sent out an advisory
note after a suspected rat’s head was found in a bag of its shrimp
crackers.
Nong Shim is South Korea’s largest processed food maker.
The South Korean company has stopped producing the snack pending
investigations. It is also recalling the product from shops across
South Korea.
AVA advises consumers who have bought the products to discard
them. — CNA/so
