Long Yue Teng Trading Pte Ltd was fined $29,000 on July 18 for the possession of illegally imported meat products intended for sale and the unauthorised disposal of detained items.

The company's directors, Wang Limin and Koon Kay Kheng, were also fined $25,000 and $4,000 respectively for failing to prevent the offences from being committed.

These products had been illegally imported from unapproved sources in China without a valid import permit.In October 2023, SFA officers conducted an inspection and sampling on a consignment of hairy crabs imported by Long Yue Teng.

In the case of a subsequent conviction, offenders shall be liable to a fine not exceeding $100,000 and/or up to three years in jail.
