Suspension of the food business operations of food processing establishment at 8A Admiralty Street #04-29, Singapore 757437

The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has suspended the food business operations of a food processing establishment, Asian Flavours Pte Ltd, with effect from 20 May 2021 until further notice.

On 19 May 2021, during an inspection of the said premises, it was observed that there were cockroach infestations at multiple locations. Storage of food products in the driveway and loading bay was also observed. 

In the interest of public health, SFA instructed the licensee to rectify the lapses and take necessary measures to improve the cleanliness of its premises. The licensee will also be fined for the lapses detected.

Food safety is a joint responsibility as food can be contaminated anywhere along the food chain. While SFA continues to be vigilant and works to ensure that regulatory measures are in place and properly enforced, the industry and consumers must also play their part. 

All food operators should ensure that their premises are clean and well-maintained, and staff are adequately trained on proper food safety management. SFA will take enforcement action against food operators who do not adhere to regulations or comply with food hygiene and food safety requirements. Offenders are liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $5,000 and, in the case of a continuing offence, to a further fine not exceeding $100 for every day or part thereof during which the offence continues after conviction. 

Members of the public who come across poor hygiene practices in food establishments are advised not to patronise them and provide feedback via our online feedback form (www.sfa.gov.sg/feedback) with details for our follow-up investigations.
