As far as ready-made pasta sauces go, those from Prego are probably the most popular among Singaporeans.
However, those who recently bought carbonara sauce from the brand should take note of a recent development.
On Thursday (22 Dec), the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) issued an advisory regarding the detection of spoilage in a batch of Prego Carbonara Mushroom Pasta Sauce.
SFA has since issued a recall of the affected products, which may show signs of spoilage like unpleasant smell and unusual colour.

The batch carries the lot number “2022081716” and lists “Malaysia” as the country of origin.
