Though it’s not exactly great for the planet, plastic has many uses.

We use it to bring our groceries back from the store, reheat leftovers when we’re lazy to cook, and cover our expensive phones.

That’s why you’ll find lots of plastic in different forms in the average household. While you might see it in your fridge, one place you do not want to find plastic is in your bowl of cereal.

I’m all for weird food combinations, but this is taking it too far.

Nestle Singapore is advising customers not to consume a specific batch of its cereal as it may contain small pieces of plastic.

Nestle’s Gold Honey Flakes cereal was voluntarily recalled by Cereal Partners Worldwide Singapore after it received a report indicating there might have been small pieces of plastic in one of its batches.

Cereal Partners Worldwide – a joint venture between Nestle and General Mills – said it has since identified the source of the plastic and rectified the issue.

The code of the batch affected is 12230631DD, with an expiry date of 11 Aug 2022.

Nestle advised consumers who purchased the product with the affected batch code not to eat the cereal. Other batches are not affected by the recall.

“The quality and safety of our products is our priority. We’re currently working closely with our retail partners to remove existing products of this particular batch code,” said Nestle.

“We apologise sincerely for the inconvenience this may have caused our valued consumers.”

Consumers who are unsure of how to identify the batch code, or those who with any queries on the matter can contact Nestle Nestle Consumer Services at 800-6011-633 or email them for assistance.

Ceres 100% Apple Juice Recalled in S’pore

Just a few days ago, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said it was recalling a batch of apple juice.

During the manufacturer’s in-house testing, it was discovered that batches of “Ceres 100% Apple Juice” contained elevated levels of patulin.

Patulin is an organic compound that can occur naturally in fruits such as apples due to fungal contamination before and after harvest.

“The ingestion of large amounts of patulin from food is associated with nausea, gastrointestinal disturbances, and vomiting,” the agency said added.

Those who have purchased the implicated product are advised not to consume it.

As for those who have consumed the implicated product, they can seek medical advice if they have concerns about their health.

The recall is ongoing.
