Malaysia – Lay Hong shares fall after Singapore’s eggs recall – Salmonella

Posted on March 16, 2021 by | Leave a comment

New Straits Times

KUALA LUMPUR: Lay Hong Bhd’s shares went down as low as 33.5 sen or 6.9 per cent in early trade after Singapore Food Agency (SFA) directed four importers to recall eggs from the company’s Layer Farm Jeram, after it detected presence of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE).

On Friday, Lay Hong’s shares closed at 36 sen.

In a statement on March 12, SFA explained that the eggs were recalled as a precautionary measure because SE might cause foodborne illness if food was consumed raw or undercooked.

“The recall is ongoing. The farm is also suspended and SFA will lift the suspension only when the farm has rectified the SE contamination issue,” SFA said.

Denmark – Three cases of botulism have now been confirmed

Posted on March 16, 2021 by | Leave a comment

SSI

The Statens Serum Institut informed on Friday about an outbreak of disease with suspicion of botulism. Studies have now confirmed that three people were affected by botulism.

Last week, the Statens Serum Institut (SSI) received samples from patients who were being treated for botulism poisoning. Six people had eaten together and three had subsequently developed symptoms.

Now, SSI’s tests have shown that the three were suffering from botulism. Two more people from the company have meanwhile developed mild symptoms and samples from them are now being examined as well. There are still no reports of illness outside the company in question of six people.

The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration has obtained ingredients from and leftovers of the food that has been eaten at the gathering in question. These samples are now also being examined for botulism at SSI’s laboratory.
