In response to the Straits Times’ questions on whether Singapore will be following China and South Korea in banning seafood imports from Japan, the SFA referred to the response made by Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu. Sakuraya Foods, the company that imports and retails fish and other food from Japan, also reported that it had not received any complaints, negative feedback and concerns about Japanese seafood from customers.
