SINGAPORE: Song Fish Dealer has been directed on Thursday to recall its crayfish and half shell scallop after they were found to contain cadmium at levels exceeding the limit stated in Singapore's food regulations."Heavy metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic and cadmium are naturally present in the environment and can enter our food when the animals and plants we eat come into contact with water, soil and the seabed," said SFA.
"Shellfish in particular grow on the ocean floor and can accumulate heavy metals that have sunk to the bottom. Based on levels detected, once-off consumption of the affected products is unlikely to be of food safety concern. "However, long-term intake of high levels of cadmium may cause renal dysfunction, bone demineralisation and increased risk of cancer in the lung, endometrium, bladder, and breast."Crayfish Medium Cut with a use-by date of May 7, 2023, originating from IndonesiaCrayfish and half shell scallop from The Seafood Market Place By Song Fish.
