Stall in 'chewy coleslaw' case passed inspection
I REFER to the letter, 'Horror find in chewy coleslaw' (ST, Aug 23).
All food vendors are required to sell clean and wholesome food. They are also required to observe good personal hygiene at all times.
Towards this end, the National Environment Agency (NEA) has a system in place to ensure that all registered food handlers attend and pass the Basic Food Hygiene Course, so as to equip them with the necessary knowledge before they are allowed to operate public eateries.
In addition, NEA officers conduct regular checks on food outlets.
Depending on the severity of a lapse in personal and food hygiene, food handlers and operators may face fines, demerit points or have their licences suspended or revoked.
Your reader, Ms Julizza Jumahat, had alerted NEA to the incident on Aug 20. During our check on the foodstall, all food for sale, including coleslaw, were found free of foreign matter.
Food handlers were found to be free from cuts and practising good personal and food hygiene.
We thank Ms Julizza for the feedback.
Members of the public can contact the NEA Call Centre on 1800-CALL NEA (1800-2255 632) to provide feedback on unhygienic practices of food handlers.
