SINGAPORE - The Singapore Food Agency has issued a recall for a frozen lobster product found to contain excessive levels of cadmium, a heavy metal.
The affected batch originating from Canada was imported by Lam Kee Fisheries, and has an expiry date of June 15, 2024.“Heavy metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium are naturally present in the environment and can enter our food when the animals and plants we eat come into contact with water, soil and the seabed,” said SFA.
“Crustaceans, such as lobsters and crabs, can accumulate heavy metals from their diet and environment.”
