Prata store suspended for selling unclean food
According to SFA’s press release, Mr Prata’s licence would be suspended from 7 to 20 Dec.
Mr Prata, located at Block 742 Bedok Reservoir Road #01-3105, accumulated 12 demerit points within a year and was fined S$800.
The store had prepared food in places where toxic matter was placed or deposited, exposing the food to the risk of contamination.
They were also found to have sold unclean food or food containing foreign matter.
Food operators who accumulate 12 or more demerit points within 12 months may have their licence cancelled or suspended for between two and four weeks.
All food handlers within the store must re-attend and pass the Food Safety Course Level 1 before resuming work.
Food hygiene officers working there will also have to re-attend and pass the Food Safety Course Level 3.
Food operators to observe good food and personal hygiene practices
SFA reminded food operators to observe good food and personal hygiene practices at all times.
Operators should also only engage registered food handlers.
SFA said they would not hesitate to take firm action against anyone found to be violating the Environmental Public Health Act.
Should the public come across poor hygiene food practices in food establishments, they can also submit feedback to SFA here.
