Is your Mini D24 mooncake still sitting pretty? You might need to bring it back for a refund!
In a shocking turn of events for lovers of this beloved local delicacy, Four Seasons Durian has announced a recall of its Mini D24 Durian Mooncake due to some rather unappetizing news: excessive bacteria found in different batches. The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) detected Bacillus cereus, a bacteria that can cause food poisoning, exceeding safety limits in these mooncakes. We know... not the kind of treat anyone wants to bite into!
The affected customers don’t have to fret completely; Four Seasons Durian is coming to the rescue with an offer to refund those who purchased the contaminated mooncakes. Customers can simply bring their mooncakes along with the purchase receipt to any of Four Seasons’ outlets or kiosks before September 14 for a full refund. While it might be a bummer for those who looked forward to indulging in that creamy durian goodness, safety is the priority!
This incident has stirred quite the talk, with mooncake enthusiasts and food safety advocates alike weighing in. The SFA took proactive steps not just by recalling the products but also highlighting the importance of regular food safety checks in keeping our culinary treats safe to eat. We can only imagine the seriousness of the situation; durian lovers let out a collective gasp as they placed their half-eaten mooncakes aside to avoid any tummy troubles!
On a lighter note, some folks have taken to social media tagging their mooncake pics with wild, humorous comments about bacteria—because if you can’t laugh, what can you do? After all, nothing says "happy Mid-Autumn Festival" like hashtagging your way into a food safety conversation!
But here’s a fun fact for you: Bacillus cereus is commonly found in soil, dust, and even some foods! This means it can be a sneaky culprit lurking in various snacks. Additionally, whilst the mooncake may have taken a hit, the industry is working diligently to ensure such oopsies don’t happen again. So, let’s keep our spirits up and hope that the mooncakes making their rounds this festival are all clear of any unwanted surprises!
Affected customers may bring the mooncakes and receipt to its outlets and kiosks by Sept 14. Read more at straitstimes.com.
