SFA recalls Huy Fong sriracha sauce over fears of exploding bottles

Singapore Food Agency has directed the importer “Huy Fong Sriracha Hot Chilli Sauce” to recall the products due to fears of exploding bottles. 

Due to lactic acid build up, certain bottles could bloat and continue to ferment. This build-up of pressure in the bottles may cause them to explode upon opening.
