SINGAPORE - A bag of chicken from Malaysia being sold at $72.
27 by NTUC FairPrice has raised the eyebrows of some shoppers and netizens here, prompting a clarification from the supermarket chain that has led to further disbelief.
Packed on May 31, what appeared to be one bird came in at 3.212kg and was on sale for an exorbitant price of $22.50 per kg. But on Thursday evening, FairPrice put up a Facebook post clarifying that the packet was, in fact, correctly labelled. "The image of the product label is of an organic kampung chicken sold at one of our concessionaire counters operated by Swiss Butchery. This product is priced at $22.50/kg , and the product label also showed the product weight of over 3kg as 2 whole birds were packed together, weighed and priced under the same label," FairPrice said in the post.But hours after the post went online, rather than dispelling people's questions, it had resulted in more confusion.
