SINGAPORE — Twenty-four food stalls at the Hari Raya Mega Sale 2023 fair had their operations suspended by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) after they were found to be operating without a licence.
In a news release on Saturday , the agency said its officers discovered the unlicensed food stalls at the event at Singapore Expo Hall 5A on Friday. Unregistered food handlers were also found to be working at the 24 food stalls.
The organiser Megaxpress International was directed to cease the operations of the unlicensed stalls"in the interest of public health". SFA said that operators of temporary fairs must get a permit from the agency, which allows it to ensure that fair operators have complied with measures to ensure food safety.Food and beverage stalls at temporary fairs are also required to be licensed by SFA, and food handlers must pass the relevant food safety course.
Enforcement action will be taken against temporary fair operators who do not adhere to regulations, said SFA, adding that investigations are ongoing. Those found guilty may be fined up to S$10,000. For a subsequent conviction, offenders may be fined up to S$20,000, jailed up to three months, or both.For more reports like this, visit
