A licensee who accumulates 12 or more demerit points within a year may have its licence suspended for a period of either two or four weeks, or the licence may be cancelled, said SFA.
The suspension of the food court's licence will run from Wednesday to Oct 4.
In response to CNA's queries, a spokesperson for Malaysia Chiak! apologised for the inconvenience to customers.
The spokesperson said it received notification of the suspension on Sept 1 and put in place plans during the temporary closure to refurbish the food court's layout so as to "better facilitate outlet cleaning and upkeep".
"To prevent similar occurrences of such incidents, we will be sending all our food handlers for retraining on food safety and hygiene," the spokesperson added.
"Since April, we have also doubled the number of inspections with our pest control vendor and will be actively working with them to implement an effective solution."
A spokesperson for Northpoint City mall said that it is aware that the food court's business operations have been temporarily suspended.
