SINGAPORE: The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) has suspended the import of fresh produce from the Malaysian farm where the iceberg lettuce found to contain high levels of pesticide originated from.

In response to queries by Channel NewsAsia on Friday (Oct 5), AVA said that it had notified the Malaysian authorities about the detection of the pesticide fipronil in the iceberg lettuce and asked for investigations to be conducted on the farm.


The iceberg lettuce were imported by Go Fresh Impex and were sold at NTUC FairPrice and Sheng Siong supermarket chains. The products have been removed from all outlets after a recall was issued by AVA.

Sheng Siong has since engaged a different supplier for its iceberg lettuce.

A spokesperson from NTUC FairPrice had said that a sample of the product was sent to AVA on Oct 2 for lab tests after checks from the supermarket chain's Food Safety and Quality Department revealed "whitish substance" on a batch of Pasar iceberg lettuce.

Customers who bought the iceberg lettuce from NTUC FairPrice between Sep 28 and Oct 4 can claim a full refund from any FairPrice store by Oct 11.


Those who bought from Sheng Siong may return the product with proof of purchase to any outlet for a full refund.

NOT PRACTICAL TO INSPECT ALL FOOD IN THE MARKET: AVA

As Singapore imports more than 90 per cent of its food, AVA said that it is not practical to inspect and test all food in the market.

"Vegetables are subjected to post-import inspection and sampling for food safety. Parameters include presence of pesticide residues, microbial contamination and other possible non-permitted chemicals. Food that fail our inspection and laboratory tests will not be allowed for sale.

"Vegetables frequently detected with unsatisfactory levels of pesticide residues are categorised as high-risk products and will be subjected to ‘hold-and-test' inspection regime," AVA said, adding that only consignments that pass laboratory testing will be allowed to be released for sale.

Importers who bring in consignments detected with unsafe levels of pesticide residues will face enforcement actions.

The consignments will be confiscated and destroyed, and importers may be fined, suspended or prosecuted.

If NTUC Fairprice were a responsible organisation which cared for the people, it should have done its own testing of the products sold at its outlets. Apparently, NTUC is more concerned with making money than providing true value and sincere service to the people. NTUC kills, not serve.

i stay away from salads in sg as they are full of “fresh” vege from mudlaysia. i only eat vege that has outer layers and or skin that i can peel off, such as cabbage, egg plant, cucumber, potato, tomato, napa cabbage. mudlaysia farming is cut throat with weed killers and pesticides. sure kena cancer.

Singapore had been researching on hydroponics, aquaponics and aeroponics/agroponics many decades ago. Vertical farming from the North Koreans? Juche Ideology can never be possible in PAP-controlled Singapore.

That is what I was thinking, the same supplier, supplies the Lettuce to other supermarkets & to other retail sellers. NTUC is only interested in taking a cut from any supplier, & buying from them at extremely low prices & extremely long credit terms. They make so much money, that, they do not have a moral conscience to the customers. They should have an in house department, that randomly & regularly test fresh produces & any other products that is for consumption rather than depend on AVA or NEA ? tor randomly check. The question is, how random & at what frequency.

The tainted lettuce in this case sold all over Singapore, whether it is sold under house brand 'PASAR", or any other brands elsewhere or to the many vegetables suppliers that sells to the numerous vegetable sellers, may have been sold for a long time...maybe even years. The consumers have been eating over sprayed, banned pesticides on the vegetables for a long time & this is frightening,

Often, we get to hear... "So & so, e strict vegetarian, never ate any meat etc..died of cancer" & we wonder, why?,,,now you know. They went to PASAR & bought vegetables...

It appears that many things are starting to fall apart for the PAP and its numerous LEElated organisations, of which NTUC is one of them. The evil can never escape the many wrongs that IT had committed. Punishment can be decades later. There is no hiding the truth.
