The SFDA strongly advised consumers who have an egg allergy or sensitivity not to consume the recalled product. The authority confirmed that it has taken all necessary measures, in close coordination with the company, to ensure the product is swiftly withdrawn from the market and that the recall is being directly monitored.
The SFDA clarified that a voluntary recall is a standard global practice implemented by food establishments under regulatory authorities' supervision to ensure consumer safety. However, the authority emphasised that this procedure does not absolve the establishment of legal responsibility for any damages arising from the product, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Reaffirming its commitment to continuous food safety monitoring and regulatory compliance, the SFDA urges the public to report any food-related violations or concerns through its Unified Call Centre (19999).
