2             On 9 November 2022, during an inspection of the said premises, non-compliances such as massive infestation of live cockroaches were detected throughout the premises and poor segregation of raw and finished products in the same chiller were observed.  In addition, several lapses related to poor hygiene practices of the premises were observed.

 

3             In the interest of public health, SFA directed the licensee to rectify the lapses and take necessary measures to improve the food safety practices  and cleanliness of its premises.

 

4             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.

 

5             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.

 

6              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.
