SINGAPORE, June 10 (The Straits Times/ANN): While enforcement action has been taken against 22 chicken rice stalls by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) since 2020, there have been no reported food-borne illness cases involving chicken rice since then.
The agency released the statement on Friday in the wake of a video by YouTuber Angel Hsu, which claimed that in a self-conducted test of 100 chicken rice stalls around Singapore, nearly half of samples tested in a lab were found to have exceeded regulatory limits for E. coli bacteria.
