Recall of “Pure Tassie Organic Apple & Raspberry Juice” and “Pure Tassie
Organic Apple & Blackcurrant Juice” due to contamination with patulin
The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has detected patulin, a mycotoxin, in
samples of various batches of “Pure Tassie Organic Apple & Raspberry Juice” and
“Pure Tassie Organic Apple & Blackcurrant Juice”, at levels exceeding the maximum
limit[1] for patulin in fruit juice as stated in the Singapore Food Regulations.
2 We have directed the importer, Cold Storage Singapore (1983) Pte Ltd to recall
the products. The recall is ongoing. This comes after an earlier recall[2] of a batch of
“Pure Tassie Organic Apple & Blackcurrant Juice” products (1.5L, best before date: 6

3 The level of patulin detected may cause the products to be unsafe for
consumption if there is long-term intake. The ingestion of large amounts of patulin
from food is associated with nausea, gastrointestinal disturbances and vomiting.
