Live mussels from France have been taken off the shelves due to high levels of bacteria found in them.

The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said in a statement on Wednesday (Oct 2) that the European Commission Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed has recalled Moule Bouchot “morisseau”, which are live mussels, because of a high count of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria.

As the mussels were imported from France into Singapore, SFA directed the importer, Elite Fine Food, to recall the product.
