Singapore Orders Recall of Gerber Arrowroot Biscuits Over Possible Plastic and Paper Contamination

The action follows a US voluntary recall, focusing on three batches sold locally.

Overview

  • SFA instructed Nestlé Singapore to conduct a precautionary recall after being notified by the importer, citing obligations under the Sale of Food Act.
  • The concern involves potential foreign matter in some packs, specifically pieces of soft plastic and paper.
  • The recall targets batch 5209565504 (exp Oct 27, 2026), 5252565505 (exp Dec 9, 2026), and 5259565505 (exp Dec 16, 2026).
  • Consumers are advised not to give the affected product to children, to seek medical advice if concerned, and to contact their point of purchase for enquiries.
  • Separately, Nestlé Canada announced a recall of three batches of the same product sold nationally in 155g packs, with no complaints reported and sourcing from the implicated flour supplier discontinued.
