The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has issued an urgent recall for two Japanese sake products, Mio Sparkling Sake Premium (Rose) in both 750 ml and 300 ml bottles, due to potential health risks. This recall comes as a precautionary measure following reports of kidney health issues linked to the products.
The recalled sake products contain red yeast rice, or “beni koji,” which has been used traditionally as a health supplement. However, recent complaints have surfaced regarding kidney problems associated with its consumption, prompting the recall.
The affected products are marked with specific date codes: January 2023 for the 750 ml bottles and February 2023 for the 300 ml bottles. Consumers who have purchased these products are advised against consuming them and to seek medical advice if they experience any health issues after consumption.
The recall is not confined to Singapore; the manufacturer, Takara Shuzo International Co., has also initiated a recall of the products in Japan. Other countries where the products have been distributed are undertaking similar precautionary measures to ensure consumer safety.
The recall has significant implications for the manufacturer, importers, and retailers, as well as for consumers who have come to enjoy these products. It also raises broader concerns about the safety and regulation of imported food products and supplements.
The SFA has directed consumers to contact their point of purchase for more information regarding the recall. Under the Sale of Food Act, foods known to be unsafe should not be sold, and the SFA is taking steps to enforce this regulation in light of the current situation.
This recall highlights the importance of a precautionary approach when it comes to food safety. The SFA’s swift action reflects its commitment to protecting public health and underscores the need for ongoing vigilance in the regulation of food products and supplements.
