SINGAPORE: The National Environment Agency (NEA) plans to issue temporary food hygiene rating labels on the spot. This is so that hawkers need not wait for the agency to issue actual labels.

A check by MediaCorp Channel 8's Frontline programme team found that some stalls at Hong Lim Complex did not display their labels.

Some hawkers said they had been told two years ago that they would be issued with labels, but had not received them.

When contacted, NEA said hawkers will always be sent labels if requested. It added that only two stalls at Hong Lim Complex did not have labels.

This is because they were not open when NEA officers went to deliver them.

For more on this story, catch the programme Frontline on MediaCorp Channel 8 at 10.30pm on Friday.
