The salmonella incident is one of the big food poisoning issue that happened in Singapore. Other cases like high levels of melamine found in milk products imported into Singapore from China also showed to be a issue that is greatly affects consumers confidence in the company.
Preview of the melamine issue (china milk and milk products) :
New laboratory findings showed White Rabbit Creamy Candy from China is also contaminated with melamine, the city-state’s government announced late yesterday.
Melamine is at the centre of a widening food safety scandal in China, where authorities said nearly 13,000 children were in hospital yesterday after drinking toxic milk powder.
On Friday, Singapore suspended the import and sale of all milk and milk products from China after local tests found samples containing melamine, which is used to make plastics.
Retailers and importers have been told to recall these products.
