Depending on his past record, a licensee who accumulates 12 or more demerit points during a 12-month period may have
his licence suspended for a period of either two or four weeks, or cancelled. All food handlers working in the
suspended premises would also be required to attend and pass the Basic Food Hygiene Course again, before they can
resume work as food handlers.
All the food hygiene officers working in suspended premises are required to re-attend and pass the WSQ Conduct Food
& Beverage Hygiene Audit course to ensure that they are properly trained and qualified.
SFA takes a serious view of these offences and would like to remind food operators to observe good food and personal
hygiene practices at all times, and to engage only registered food handlers. SFA will not hesitate to take firm
action against anyone found to be in violation of the Environmental Public Health Act.
In the interest of maintaining a high standard of food hygiene at all eating establishments, we would also like to
advise members of the public who come across poor hygiene practices in food establishments not to patronise such
outlets and provide feedback via the online feedback form (https://csp.sfa.gov.sg/feedback)
or to call our SFA Contact Centre at 68052871 with details for our follow-up investigations.
