15 Unlicensed Bottles Recalled by SFA

The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) recalled and disposed of a total of 15 units of 19-litre water bottles that were filled at an unauthorised facility. This action was taken following an inspection conducted on December 18, 2019, at the premises of Drinkstar Enterprise after the agency received feedback from the public.
Unauthorised Bottling Activities Identified

During the inspection at Drinkstar Enterprise, SFA officers discovered several empty 19-litre water bottles and water dispensers. The owner, Richard Lim Lian Chye, admitted to operating an unlicensed water bottling facility where he filled these bottles with tap water sourced directly from the toilet within the company's premises at 55 Serangoon North Ave 4.
Bottled Water Sold to Customers

The illegally bottled water was subsequently sold to customers to fulfil outstanding sales orders for Drinkstar Enterprise. The SFA instructed Lim to cease these unauthorised activities immediately upon discovery.
Food Safety Risks Highlighted

The SFA emphasised that the illegal bottling of water in unlicensed facilities presents a significant food safety risk to consumers. In Singapore, all water bottling operations are mandated to be licensed and must adhere to the SFA's stringent requirements and established food safety standards. These licensed facilities are subject to regular inspections by the SFA to ensure compliance.
