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...

The agency noted that a common preparation method for chicken rice here involves gently boiling the chicken in stock, and quickly quenching the cooked chicken in iced or tap water after, which can lead to it being undercooked. This is where bacteria can continue to survive.

The agency said it received a total of 126 instances of feedback on chicken rice stalls from 2020 to May 2023, of which it took enforcement against one for selling unsafe food. It added that fewer chicken rice stalls are failing the microbiological tests under the Market Monitoring Programme. They had to have at least more than 10 reviews, and for brands with multiple outlets, she chose the one with the highest rating.
