The eatery had accumulated 12 demerit points within a 12-month period for two offences:

  • Failing to keep premises free of infestation
  • Selling unclean food

Therefore, SFA has also fined the establishment a total of S$800, in addition to the accumulation of demerit points.

SFA urges food operators to observe good hygiene practices

SFA stated that a licensee with 12 or more demerit points within a 12-month period may encounter a cancellation of their licence or a two to four-week suspension.

Food handlers working on these premises would have to re-attend and pass the WSQ Food Safety Course Level 1 before resuming their work.

The licensee must additionally ensure that all food hygiene officers working on the premises re-attend and pass the WSQ Food Safety Course Level 3.

In light of this latest suspension, SFA emphasised the serious view it takes of such offences. The agency also reminded 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,” it warned.
