Food Safety Alert: Bacillus Cereus Detected in Tofu with Chilli
On November 7, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving tofu with chilli originating from China. The presence of Bacillus Cereus, a harmful bacterium, has been detected in this product, raising concerns about potential health risks associated with its consumption.
Bacillus Cereus is known to cause foodborne illnesses, which can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. This bacterium is often associated with improperly stored or handled food products, particularly those that are high in starch or protein, such as tofu. The detection of this bio-contaminant highlights the importance of stringent food safety measures throughout the supply chain.
Consumers are advised to check their supplies and avoid consuming any tofu with chilli that may be affected by this contamination. It is crucial for food establishments to ensure that they source products from reputable suppliers and adhere to proper food handling and storage practices to mitigate the risk of contamination.
Food safety authorities are actively investigating the source of the contamination and will provide updates as more information becomes available. In the meantime, it is essential for consumers to remain vigilant and prioritize food safety in their purchasing and consumption habits.
