Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has suspended live broiler Chicken from Malaysia’s Cab Cakaran farm due to the detection of drug residues exceeding MRLs. According to the SFA, the drug has been found in samples collected from an imported consignment of broilers from the farm.
In June last year, Malaysia decided to ban the export of chicken up to 3.6 million live and fresh chickens. At that time Singapore government sourced alternative options for countries like Thailand and Indonesia.
In the month of October Malaysia lifted the ban on the import of live chicken and chicken products. Malaysia had said that Singapore would receive about 1.8 million Malaysian broiler chickens a month.
According to the data Singapore imports chicken from Brazil, Malaysia, USA, Argentina and Denmark.
