  3. Freshly-Prepared Drinks With High Sugar Must Be Labelled On Menus By End-2023 To lower Singaporeans’ sugar intake and obesity rate, the Ministry of Health (MOH) will soon implement measures on drinks with high sugar and saturated fat. From 30 Dec 2022, such pre-packed drinks in Singapore must be labelled with a Nutri-Grade mark that will inform consumers of their high sugar content. Meanwhile, the authorities will be banning ads for drinks with the “highest” level of sugar and saturated fat. No ads for drinks with “highest” sugar & saturated fat levels Speaking at an event on Thursday (11 Aug), Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said MOH will be taking additional steps to tackle the obesity and high sugar intake issue in Singapore. According to Mr Ong, half of Singaporeans’ daily sugar intake can be traced to beverages. Prepacked drinks, such as those in cans or packets, make up nearly two-thirds of these beverages. To tackle this issue, such beverages with “higher sugar and saturated fat” will have to carry a Nutri-Grade mark from 30 Dec 2022. MOH previously announced that the requirement will take effect by the end of 2022. Mr Ong hopes consumers will learn to associate the marking with high-sugar drinks and will avoid such beverages. In addition, the health ministry will be prohibiting advertisements for drinks with the “highest” level of sugar and saturated fat. They will be adopting similar measures for freshly prepared drinks like freshly squeezed juices, brews, and even bubble tea. MOH described such beverages as a “growing source of sugar in Singaporeans’ diets”. For drinks with “higher” levels of sugar and saturated fat, establishments must add the Nutri-Grade mark to their hard and softcopy menus. MOH aims to publish the measures for freshly prepared beverages in mid-2023. Thereafter, they hope to implement them by end-2023. Measures to help consumers make healthier choices Explaining the move, Mr Ong said the measures aim to help consumers make healthier choices. He also shared his hope for consumers to transition towards having drinks like kopi, teh, and even bubble tea with lower sugar, I hope more Singaporeans will realise that less sugar will bring out the natural flavours of the drinks and we may well find them more enjoyable. Hopefully, once the measures are in place, MOH will be able to achieve its aims.

  6. g SINGAPORE — A couple who allegedly scammed millions of dollars from luxury goods buyers was nabbed in Johor Bahru on Thursday (Aug 11) with the help of Thai and Malaysian authorities, about a month after fleeing Singapore by hiding in the container compartment of a lorry. Singaporean Pi Jiapeng, 26, and his 27-year-old Thai wife, Pansuk Siriwipa, have been accused of cheating victims who made advance payments for luxury watches and bags. The pair then purportedly failed to deliver the goods.Arrest warrants and Interpol red notices were issued against them after at least 180 police reports involving the two companies they were behind, Tradenation and Tradeluxury, were lodged since June. On Thursday, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said that it had been "working closely with various foreign law enforcement agencies" to secure the couple's return to the Republic. SPF received information from the Royal Thai Police on Wednesday that Pi and Pansuk may have been putting up in a hotel across the Causeway in Johor Bahru. The Singapore police then sought the Royal Malaysia Police's help to locate them. The couple was arrested by Malaysian police on Thursday and handed over to SPF. They will be charged in court on Friday and investigations are ongoing, SPF added. They will face charges of criminal conspiracy to commit cheating as well as illegal departure from Singapore. Two Malaysian men have already been charged with conspiring to arrange for the couple to be smuggled out of Singapore in a Malaysia-registered lorry through Tuas Checkpoint on July 4. The men — Mohamad Fazli Abdul Rahman, 38, and lorry driver Mohamed Alias, 40 — recently indicated that they wish to plead guilty. They have been remanded here due to the high risk that they could also flee the country. Pi, who was born in Fujian province in China, was initially arrested in Singapore on June 27. He had his passport impounded and was released on bail the next day, pending the completion of investigations. Pansuk was assisting the police with investigations and surrendered her passport to officers on June 30. Both later could not be contacted. Tradenation was registered as a precious stones and metals dealer on April 2, the Ministry of Law said. Registered dealers are regulated under the Registrar of Regulated Dealers for anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism purposes. Its registration has been suspended and can be cancelled. Under the Immigration Act, anyone who illegally leaves Singapore or abets the offence faces at least six months’ and up to two years’ jail and may also be fined up to S$6,000. Any abetment of offences in Singapore, even if committed outside the country, is punishable under the law here. Those convicted of cheating can be jailed for up to 10 years and fined. On Thursday, SPF said: "The Singapore authorities will do whatever is necessary and permissible under Singapore law to pursue and bring to justice those who commit crimes in Singapore, regardless of where they might have fled to.

  9. How satisfied are you with the cleanliness of your workplace's restroom? For one man, the dirty and nonfunctional toilets at his workplace at 90 Alps Avenue have left him so disgusted that he is hoping to raise awareness on Stomp. Stomper N said he has been working at FedEx, which is located at Airport Logistics Park, since July 2022. Photos that he took on July 30 show unflushed toilet bowls filled with toilet paper and stained with pee. The flushing system in several cubicles also appear damaged. N told Stomp: "There are two restrooms and both have these issues of being unable to flush. There is soap but a few of the sinks are not working/do not have tap water coming out. "According to my colleagues, the toilets have been like this since they joined the company many years ago. "I did not feedback to anyone because my colleagues told me it has always been like this. They say this is a warehouse so we should not expect it to be as clean as office buildings. "It is surprising to know that such toilets can exist in Singapore. I hope to share this on Stomp to raise awareness."

  11. Having been a regular patron of a zi char stall in Bukit Panjang stall for years, a diner did not peg them as the kind of place that would serve food with foreign matter in it. Stomper Christina said she ordered three dishes from Kimly Seafood at Block 163A Gangsa Road on Tuesday (Aug 9), at 7.06pm. Upon reaching home with her food, she found a wooden peg in one of the dishes. Christina told Stomp: "I found a food clip in my 杂菜饭 (zhup cai png). "I brought the container down to the stall and the staff said they would give us a new set, but nobody admitted who did this. I feel really pissed off about it. "I noticed that there is always a lady covering the containers before putting them on the outside table for payment. The lady probably did not check my food before covering it." The Stomper said this is not the first time she has had issues with the stall. She added: "There was once I ordered an additional egg for $0.80, but they didn't add it. When I went down and told them, they said they would refund me another egg next time. So I considered the case closed. "But a few months later when I ordered again, they didn't add the egg. "Now this time, they did not give the egg but gave me a food clip." Christina provided feedback to Kimly on the same day, but has not heard back to date. She also informed the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) about the matter. Stomp has contacted SFA for more info.

  12. The 33-year porridge stall will be closed and will sell the secret recipe for 500,000 yuan Located at the corner of Eng Wan Street in Tiong Bahru District, Tiong Bahru Lim Kee Congee shares a shop with the Thai restaurant Little Elephant Thai Bistro. In the past 33 years, although the daily business hours are only from 7:00 to 9:30 in the morning, there are many frequent customers. A few days ago, it was suddenly announced that it would close after the end of the month, and many diners expressed their reluctance when the news came out. In an interview, the proprietress Xie Xiaoqin said that in order to insist on using only fresh ingredients to cook porridge every day, the sales volume is not large, less than 100 bowls per day. The old couple who live in Choa Chu Kang goes to Chinatown Market to buy fresh fish and minced meat every morning, and then go to Tiong Bahru to open the stall. Xie Xiaoqin regretted that the operator of the store needed to re-plan the store, but had no choice but to ask for the stall to be taken back. She emphasized that the Thai restaurant operator has a good relationship with them, and the other party has also allowed the two old people to operate rent-free in the past three or four years. When asked about her plans after graduation, she said that she was looking for other places to see if they could continue to operate, but now that rents are starting to rise everywhere, and the couple is too old to find a stall suitable for half-day business. The old couple also expressed their hope that they could find someone with a predestined relationship and sell the secret recipe for porridge for 500,000 yuan. The price is negotiable.

  15. As Singapore moves on from the worst of the pandemic, it faces another challenge: a manpower crunch across various industries, including the F&B world. Fine-dining restaurateurs, hawkers and everyone in between are all affected – the folks behind Old Master Roasted Grill are no exception. The 18-month-old stall in Chinatown Complex Food Centre closed down in July despite drawing “long queues daily” for the charcoal-roasted meats cooked by Cho Siew Wan, an 82-year-old shifu with half a century of experience as a roast meat specialist. Why? Even a master needs help moving “a couple of hundreds of kilograms of pork and duck every day” — but no help could be found. “The kind of work he does is very tiring and strenuous. He told me that he needed help, if not he can’t carry on,” Sham Hei, business partner and towkay of 20 herbal soup stalls, tells 8days.sg. “But it was very hard to find anyone willing to do it. (Even at a salary of $15 an hour which worked out to about $3.2K for a six-day work week, higher than the average hawker’s assistant salary). Shifu came in at 5am daily to start cooking, because he’s used to it. But where can you find someone who wants to work those kinds of hours?” No part of this story or photos can be reproduced without permission from 8days.sg. 1of3 Shifu single-handedly roasted meats over charcoal from 5am to 9.30am daily Working alone every morning from “5am to 9.30am” roasting meats over charcoal took its toll on the elderly hawker. “When we started the business, his health was very good. But he began showing signs of fatigue, so I advised him to retire to prevent anything untoward happening to him if he perseveres,” explains Sham. “I’m in my seventies. He’s 82. I also know that this line of work is very taxing on the body. If anything were to happen to him, I’d be responsible. We’re good friends – so I had to tell him that it was best for him to retire. If the business can’t continue, that’s my issue. It’s time for him to rest.” he adds. So master Cho hung up his apron and is now enjoying retirement with his civil servant daughter and four grandchildren. “He’s well taken care of – he has nothing to worry about anymore,” declares Sham. 2of3 No suitable replacement roast meat cook found despite $4K monthly salary Initially, Sham tried looking for a replacement roast master. But finding one with the right skills – and attitude – proved an even bigger challenge despite offering a “very high daily wage” of $170 for nine hours of work (approximately $4K monthly for a six-day work week), explains Sham. “The first new shifu’s roast meats weren’t as good as Master Cho’s, but I thought that he’d be able to improve after a few days. But then, he became very arrogant – his attitude was, ‘if I want to do it this way, then I’ll do it this way.’ One day, I gave him a suggestion about something that needed to be changed – maybe he was tired, but he lost his temper. He quit on the spot after working for three days,” he adds with a sigh. “I hired one or two more cooks after that, but I faced the same problem,” he laments. “Stall assistants are hard to hire, but shifus are definitely hard to manage too. They aren’t worried about finding a job, as there are so many people looking to hire [skilled] workers now.” 3of3 Pivoted to selling herbal soup This constant musical chairs of roast meat cooks led to Old Master Roasted Grill closing for an entire month in June. Sham later decided to cut his losses — he gave away equipment like a charcoal oven and spent $12K turning the stall into another outlet of his herbal soup hawker chain, Bu by Shen Xi. “This location is very good, I didn’t want to give up the stall space. Since the problem was hiring people with the right cooking skills, I decided to switch tack to selling herbal soups instead – since I have several other soup stalls and staff there who can hop around the different outlets easily.” Interestingly, one of those soup stalls has been in the very same hawker centre (unit #02-006/007) for years now, but located in a different zone. Sham isn’t worried that the two stalls under the same brand will tussle for business, as “it’s a very big hawker centre”. He asserts: “Just imagine: there are at least five or six stalls each for roast meat, noodles or vegetarian food, but they can all succeed. The only two herbal soup stalls in this hawker centre are mine.” According to him, his hunch paid off: “In the past 1.5 months [since we switched concept], it proved to be the right decision. Business is just as good at the stall now as it was during our roast meat days, with a lot of new customers.” Not bad, considering the cheapest dish at Bu by Shen Xi costs $5, compared to $3 for char siew rice when the stall used to be Old Master Roasted Grill. Bu by Shen Xi is at #02-119 Chinatown Complex Food Centre, 335 Smith St, S050335. Open daily 10am – 8pm. Tel: 9189-2870. More info via Facebook.

Europe is leading in the insect protein market, but more and more companies in Southeast Asia are developing foods containing insects. © Reuters KOSUKE INOUE, Nikkei staff writerAugust 11, 2022 16:21 JST BANGKOK -- Startups in Thailand are focusing on insects to make animal feed, seeking to help alleviate increasing pressure on livestock farmers to move toward sustainability. "Insect-derived feed can be a solution to circular economy," said Peter Hamilton, CEO of Biovert Protein, a Thai startup developing technology to pulverize black soldier fly larvae to process into fish feed. Biovert plans to build a factory in the Eastern Economic Corridor, a special economic zone in Thailand, by 2024 to launch full-scale production. Concerns about sustainability in industrial agriculture are rising. In Europe, livestock, which consumes massive volumes of grains, is considered an environmental concern, and avoidance of meat is gaining steam. This presents a problem that needs attention for many companies in Thailand, a leading food exporter. Black soldier fly eggs hatch in four days and become pupae in 14 days. The insects contain abundant protein as well as calcium and amino acids, essential nutrients. They can be mass-produced in a short period of time and are perfect alternative to grain-based feed, the company says. Biovert's other goal is to reduce food waste. Black soldier fly larvae require a massive amount of food for growth, so the company buys spent grain from a local beer brewery. Europe is leading in the insect protein market, but Southeast Asia offers lower barriers to new entrants. Thailand, in particular, is promoting the development of environmentally friendly technologies, spurring new businesses in the field. These include FlyLab, another startup working on black soldier flies in northern Chiang Mai. Thai Union Group, the company behind the Chicken of the Sea canned tuna brand, also announced in 2021 an investment in Orgafeed, which develops pet food with black soldier fly larvae. Reducing production costs is a major challenge. These startups are pouring money into finding out the optimal environment for enhancing the nutritional value of insects, and they must pass these costs on to customers to turn a profit. This means they not only have to get livestock farmers to invest in sustainability but also bring down prices as low as possible to conventional grain-based feed.

(Photo by Yuki Nakao) KYOHEI SUGA, Nikkei staff writerAugust 11, 2022 03:17 JST NAGOYA, Japan -- Resale prices of some Toyota models have topped what new ones sell for as Japan's top automaker keeps car buyers waiting. The median price of the 2022 Land Cruiser ZX reached 17.05 million yen ($129,000) in late July, more than double the manufacturer's suggested price for the gasoline version of the popular sport utility vehicle, according to used car website operator Proto Corp. Price inversions like this for Toyotas, which reflect the automaker's struggle to produce cars on time amid a global chip shortage, are unusual in their extent, market watchers said. "There have been instances of localized spikes in prices for rare and popular cars, but I've never seen it happen for this many models," said Yasuyuki Matsui, a director at Nagoya-based used car dealership group Goodspeed. For the Alphard, one of Toyota's largest minivans, the median price for the hybrid 2021 Executive Lounge S version was 8.25 million yen, above the new-car price of 7.75 million yen. Some Harrier and Corolla Cross cars cost more used than new, depending on the model year and grade. Some car buyers are clearly willing to pay more to drive a slightly used Toyota now than wait for delivery of a new one. Toyota Motor's order backlog in Japan stands at around 1 million vehicles -- roughly a third of its annual domestic output. Delivery time is estimated to be more than four years for the Land Cruiser and nearly a year for other popular SUVs. Besides the chip shortage, COVID-19 lockdowns in Shanghai this year have had a lingering impact on Toyota's supply chain. Overseas car buyers are helping drive up prices in Japan, Matsui said. Used car dealers often auction cars to other dealers. "Buyers exporting to wealthy customers in emerging economies pay high prices," one seller said. Japan-only Toyota models like the Harrier are gaining popularity among such overseas buyers, who may face wait times to buy Toyotas in their local markets, auto industry watchers said. The boom in used cars is not limited to Toyota. Some other brands, such as Suzuki Motor's popular four-wheel-drive Jimny, are fetching higher-than-new prices. But Toyotas have long been known for their stable resale price, so the shortage-driven increases stand out more. New orders for Land Cruisers, Alphards and Harriers have been suspended in Japan because production cannot keep up, and there is no sign of when they will restart. "The current models have for practical purposes been discontinued," said the head of one dealership.

  21. NEW YORK (REUTERS) - Johnson & Johnson will stop selling talc-based baby powder globally in 2023, the drugmaker said on Thursday (Aug 11), more than two years after it ended US sales of a product that drew thousands of consumer safety lawsuits. "As part of a worldwide portfolio assessment, we have made the commercial decision to transition to an all cornstarch-based baby powder portfolio," it said, adding that cornstarch-based baby powder is already sold in countries around the world. In 2020, J&J announced that it would stop selling its talc Baby Powder in the United States and Canada because demand had fallen in the wake of what it called "misinformation" about the product's safety amid a barrage of legal challenges. The company faces about 38,000 lawsuits from consumers and their survivors claiming its talc products caused cancer due to contamination with asbestos, a known carcinogen. J&J denies the allegations, saying decades of scientific testing and regulatory approvals have shown its talc to be safe and asbestos-free. On Thursday, it reiterated the statement as it announced the discontinuation of the product. The company spun off subsidiary LTL Management in October, assigned its talc claims to it and immediately placed it into bankruptcy, pausing the pending lawsuits. Those suing have said Johnson & Johnson should have to defend itself against the lawsuits, while defendants of J&J and the bankrupt subsidiary process say it is an equitable way to compensate claimants. Mr Ben Whiting, an attorney with the plaintiffs firm Keller Postman, said because the lawsuits are paused in bankruptcy, the company’s sales decision won’t immediately impact them. But if a federal appellate court allows the cases to move forward, the consumers could try to use Johnson & Johnson’s decision to pull the products as evidence, Mr Whiting said. “If these cases were to go again, then it’s a very big deal,” Mr Whiting said. Before the bankruptcy filing, the company faced costs from US$3.5 billion (S$4.79 billion) in verdicts and settlements, including one in which 22 women were awarded a judgment of more than US$2 billion, according to bankruptcy court records. A shareholder proposal calling for an end to global sales of the talc baby powder failed in April. A 2018 Reuters investigation found that J&J knew for decades that asbestos, a carcinogen, was present in its talc products. Internal company records, trial testimony and other evidence showed that from at least 1971 to the early 2000s, J&J's raw talc and finished powders sometimes tested positive for small amounts of asbestos. In response to evidence of asbestos contamination presented in media reports, in the court room and on Capitol Hill, J&J has repeatedly said its talc products are safe, and do not cause cancer. Sold since 1894, Johnson’s Baby Powder became a symbol of the company’s family-friendly image. An internal J&J marketing presentation from 1999 refers to the baby products division, with Baby Powder at the core, as J&J’s “#1 Asset”, Reuters reported, although the baby powder accounted for only about 0.5 per cent of its US consumer health business when the company pulled it off the shelves.

  22. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/freshly-prepared-drinks-nutri-grade-nutrition-label-2023-sugar-fat-content-2873951 SINGAPORE: Food and beverage outlets will by end of 2023 be required to include nutrition labels on their menus indicating drinks that contain higher levels of sugar and saturated fat. These include freshly brewed drinks from coffee shops, freshly squeezed juices and bubble tea. "Our latest measures will require the outlets selling these drinks to label on their hard and softcopy menus beverages higher in sugar and saturated fat with the Nutri-Grade mark," said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Thursday (Aug 11). Calling such drinks a “growing source of sugar in Singaporeans’ diets”, Mr Ong said the Health Ministry is working towards publishing these measures in the middle of next year and have them implemented by end-2023. “Advertising prohibitions will also apply to these freshly prepared beverages with the highest level of sugar and saturated fat content,” said Mr Ong, who was speaking at the opening ceremony of the 19th International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis Congress. He added that these measures aim “to help consumers make more informed, healthier choices, reduce the influence of advertising on consumer preferences and spur industry reformulation”. “While we cannot avoid the sugar in juices and sugar cane drink, we can enjoy coffee, tea, Milo and bubble tea with less sugar content,” he said. “I hope more Singaporeans will realise that less sugar will bring out the natural flavours of the drinks and we may well find them even more enjoyable ... More importantly, it keeps us healthy, and staves off a very scary disease in diabetes.” In December, MOH announced that pre-packaged drinks such as soft drinks, juice and milk will be required to carry the new Nutri-Grade labels by the end of 2022. The four-level grading system is based on the sugar and saturated fat content in beverages. It will be colour-coded – A (dark green), B (light green), C (orange) and D (red), with A being the category with the lowest sugar and fat thresholds. Drinks that are graded C or D must have their labels on the front of the package, MOH said. If sold online, or from a vending machine or a buyer-facing automated beverage dispenser, the image of the Nutri-Grade mark must be displayed according to the regulations. Advertisements are also prohibited for grade D drinks in most cases. Mr Ong said on Thursday that the measures for pre-packaged drinks have “brought about a very positive response from the demand and supply sides of the industry” since they were announced. For example, producers have “significantly reformulated their beverages” ahead of the effective date of the measures for pre-packaged drinks. “Preliminary data shows that the median sugar level of pre-packed beverages has been reduced from 7.1 per cent in 2017 to 4.7 per cent in 2021,” he said. Sales of pre-packaged drinks graded C or D have also fallen from 63 per cent in 2017 to 40 per cent in 2021. Sales of drinks with less than 5 per cent sugar content have increased from 37 per cent to 60 per cent over the same period. “These shifts are as significant as those recorded in the UK, which has implemented a sugar tax, and much more stringent regulation of the market,” he said. “It shows that, in our market, by providing the right information in the right way, our industry and consumers are sophisticated and health-conscious enough to respond positively, and that is encouraging. "Encouraged by these developments, MOH and HPB (Health Promotion Board) will step up our efforts to reduce sugar intake from freshly prepared beverages."

  29. A man was disappointed to find that a Yummy Fresh Fruits Vanilla Cake that he bought for his wife's birthday did not live up to it name at all. Stomper Ming had ordered the $59.31 cake from Ferns N Petals on Wednesday (Aug 10). On its website, Ferns N Petals states that "freshness of cake is always guranteed! (sic)" However, that was far from the case for Ming, who said his Yummy Fresh Fruits Vanilla Cake came with unfresh ingredients. He recounted: "We received the cake this morning (Aug 11) and immediately put it into the fridge without checking as we wanted to surprise my wife for her birthday. "When it was time to cut the cake, we were thoroughly disappointed because we realised there was nothing fresh about the cake as it came with mouldy fruits and mushy macaroons." Ming shared photos showing the cake topped with stale-looking berries and a screenshot of how his request for a refund was initially turned down by the store. The Stomper added: "I contacted Ferns N Petals to ask for a refund but was rejected. They claimed that it was not under their policy to give refunds and offered a gift voucher instead. "Why would I even have the confidence to get another cake from them again? "Still, they refused to give me a refund. After a lot of back and forth, they finally agreed to a refund, which they should have done in the first place. They said they processed the refund last night and that it would take five to seven working days. "This experience left a very bad taste in my mouth. I will never order from them again." This is not the first time Stompers have had negative experiences with Ferns N Petals. In February this year, a woman said she was left embarrassed by a 'disgraceful' $82 Chinese New Year hamper that was sent to her client. The store also came under fire in 2020, when a customer received a $113 cake with a misspelled greeting that said 'Happy Birthday Monter'. Ferns N Petals later sent a replacement cake and apologised for the mistake.
