SINGAPORE:

Godiva Chocolatier has voluntarily recalled one of its Christmas chocolate gift boxes, after reports in Japan said a small strand of metal had been found in the chocolates.

Singapore's Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) has directed importers to recall the 16-piece Christmas Carre Gift box containing chocolate squares. These gift boxes are only available in Godiva-owned retail stores in Singapore.

About 40 boxes of the chocolates have been sold so far. The AVA advises consumers who have bought the implicated product not to consume it. They should either discard the product or return it to any Godiva store.

AVA says it will monitor the situation to ensure that the affected products are not available for sale in the market here.
