SINGAPORE – While enforcement action has been taken against 22 chicken rice stalls by the Singapore Food Agency since 2020, there have been no reported food-borne illness cases involving chicken rice since then.
Results and data she shared showed that 45 stalls had E. coli bacteria exceeding SFA’s limit of 100 cfu/g, or colony-forming units per gram. Four stalls out of the 100 had a reading of more than 490,000 cfu/g. “When chickens are sliced to serve, cross-contamination could occur from handling meat or through the chopping boards and other surfaces,” said SFA.
It added that fewer chicken rice stalls are failing the microbiological tests under the Market Monitoring Programme.
