SINGAPORE — The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) ordered the suspension of operations at bean curd manufacturer and wholesaler Hensin Food after cockroach infestations were found in the company’s food preparation areas.
The suspension, from Thursday (Jan 20) until further notice, comes after an inspection of the company’s premises at 151 Pandan Loop on Wednesday.
“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.”
SFA reminded food operators to ensure that their premises are clean and well maintained, and that 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 safety requirements,” it said.
Offenders can be fined up to S$10,000, jailed a maximum of 12 months or both. CNA
