The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) has sent out a recall of iceberg lettuce from a Malaysian farm, as high levels of Fipronil, wide-spectrum pesticide, have been discovered in the product. Imported by Go Fresh Impex Pte Ltd and distributed for sale at NTUC FairPrice and Sheng Siong supermarkets, the item comes from Pasar and Iceberg brands.
With the ongoing recall, AVA is advising consumers to practice good food safety by washing and soaking vegetables to remove pesticide residues before cooking and consumption. Anyone who has purchased the affected products can contact the respective supermarket outlets for enquiries.
