More than six tonnes of illegal food imports seized
SFA seized about 6.8 tonnes of illegally imported food from Thailand and Myanmar. The raids were conducted between 11 to 13 May 2023 at multiple locations, including an industrial building at Mandai Link and food retail establishments in Textile Centre and Peninsular Plaza.
We found large quantities of processed and raw meat as well as insect products, including beef, duck, pork, chicken, mutton, pig’s blood, crickets and silkworms. All had been illegally imported from unapproved sources and without a valid licence.
SFA is following up with further investigations. Illegally imported food products of unknown sources pose a food safety risk. If you have information on suspected illegal activities, please provide feedback via our online feedback form (www.sfa.gov.sg/feedback) with details for our follow-up investigations. All information will be kept strictly confidential. For more: https://go.gov.sg/20230517sfaraid
