4             Following the lifting of suspension, SFA will continue to place iBread Pte. Ltd. under close surveillance to ensure they adhere to food safety requirements.

5             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.

6             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 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both.

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