Importers have removed Organix baby biscuits from sale in Singapore as a precaution after authorities in Australia and New Zealand warned about their potential choking hazard to babies and young children.
The Food Standards Australia and New Zealand are recalling the Britain-imported food products, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority said in a statement today (April 7).
The authorities there said Organix Finger Foods Baby Biscuits can crumble into pieces, which pose a possible choking hazard. They come in creamy vanilla, strawberry, and banana flavours.
Advice for parents
The AVA said parents who still wish to feed their young children the biscuits should follow the safety advice on the label.
Highlighted in red, safety advice on the packaging says that the biscuits are not suitable for children under seven months.
The text reads: “When feeding a child, please ensure that they are sitting down and supervised to reduce the risk of choking.”
