In order to support the Food Resilience Preparedness Programme ( FRPP ), an initiative led by SFA, the RTE meals were originally intended to be distributed to more than 100 000 students and teachers from more than 90 schools.
Beyond the universities, it intended to collaborate with AIC to deliver the foods to seniors at Active Ageing Centers on the island, where over 8, 000 seniors from 111 different locations participated.
Exams created the meals for public consumption during federal emergencies. SATS developed these foods to be stored without refrigeration, consumed at room temperature, and with an up to eight-month shelf life by drawing on its expertise in producing military combat rations.
The initial Code supply was for February 15 to February 28.
Federal authorities decided on February 20 to halt the FRPP until the SOTA cases were settled after receiving reports of hepatitis.
Regulators also contacted another receiver institutions at the same time to check if there were any other cases of related illness.  ,
In response to questions from MPs Tan Wu Meng ( PAP-Jurong ) and Dennis Tan ( WP-Hougang ), Ms Fu responded that joint investigations are ongoing.
She continued, SFA inspected SATS’ facilities on January 23, just before the launch of the , FRPP. No food security breaches were found at the location, which was confirmed to be clear. Additionally, FRPP had been expanded by SATS.
Every meal  produced under the FRPP was screened for leaking on its own. Additionally, a SFA-accredited experiment conducted example biologic testing to verify food  safety.
