Company, director admit to offences over expiry dates of 5,880kg of food in biggest case probed by SFA

SINGAPORE – A food processing company and its director admitted on Friday to not having the expiry dates or having the wrong ones on 5,880kg of fish and meat products.Far Ocean Sea Products and its chief executive Jordan Quek Ruiming, 36, a director at the time of the offences, each pleaded guilty to 30 charges over violating the conditions of the firm’s licences and one charge for illegally using a room at its premises for processing food.

“Regulatory offences often appear relatively minor, but only in isolation. The true import of the offences here is best illustrated through the manner in which the accused persons are situated within the food fabric of Singapore society.” On July 3, 2019, SFA officers inspected Far Ocean’s premises following a complaint made against the firm. They found a large number of products that were not marked and labelled with expiry dates.

It was also revealed that in early 2019, one of Far Ocean’s employees took a video capturing his fellow workers using penknives to remove expiry date labels from cartons of tiger prawns.
