“Following the lifting of suspension, SFA will continue to place Nosh Cuisine under close surveillance to ensure that it adheres to food safety requirements,” they added.
“SFA is considering the findings from the investigations into the outbreak of gastroenteritis and will take enforcement action if Nosh Cuisine is found to have violated the Environmental Public Health (Food Hygiene) regulations.”
If convicted, offenders could be fined up to S$2,000 (US$1,511) and, in the case of a continuing offence, liable to a further fine of up to S$100 for every day or part thereof during which the offence continues after conviction.
The agency also reminded food operators to observe good food and personal hygiene practices at all times, and advised members of the public who come across poor hygiene practice in food establishments to report them.
