Several KOO canned vegetable products recalled due to potential canning failure

A range of KOO brand canned vegetable products from South Africa have been recalled due to a potential canning failure that may result in microbial contamination.

The Singapore Food Agency said in a statement that the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) issued a food recall alert on the products.

"As the implicated products were imported into Singapore, SFA has directed one importer, Walluco Pte Ltd, to recall the affected batches of the implicated products," SFA said.

The recall has been completed.
