Total Defence food resilience programme suspended; experts weigh in on possible lapses

03:31 Min

A national food resilience exercise has been paused, after 20 School of the Arts (SOTA) students developed food poisoning. The ready-to-eat meals were part of a Total Defence drill, and distributed to schools islandwide. As of Feb 20, authorities and caterer SATS say the issue remains isolated to SOTA. Experts point to possible lapses in transportation or storage, as Sherlyn Seah reports.
