Channel NewsAsia reports that Sheng Siong and NTUC FairPrice have been closely monitoring the situation and the supply of their fishes.
Sheng Siong mentions that their quality control dictates that all stocks, local produce or not, will be returned to the supplier if any defects are found. FairPrice has requested through the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) that local fish farms ensure that their supplies are safe for consumption.
Reportedly, AVA will also be conducting regular checks on the supplies at supermarkets.
