Updated by SFA The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) is unable to ascertain when the rumours on contaminated sugar cane juice sold at our licensed hawker stalls and foodshops first appeared, and would like to clarify that the message is unfounded.
However, SFA requires all cut sugar cane to be obtained from producers that have in place good manufacturing practices, as well as the relevant registration and certification from their exporting countries. The cut sugar cane must be cleaned, boxed and transported in covered vehicles. SFA advises foodshop operators selling sugar cane juice not to leave the cut sugar cane on the floor. Like all licensed foodshop operators, they should observe good food safety practices, such as washing the stem of the sugar cane thoroughly, so that the juice sold to members of the public at retail food establishments and food stalls is hygienic.
Should members of the public require further assistance, they can contact SFA via our Online Feedback Form.
Is it true that the sugar cane juice sold at hawker centres and foodshops is contaminated?
