The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) is suspending the licence of Tom's Palette at 51 Middle Road in Bugis for two weeks from Oct 15 to 28.
The gelato shop accumulated 12 demerit points within a 12-month period and was fined $800 for failing to register an assistant and selling food that is not clean.
Based on track records, a licensee who accumulates 12 or more demerit points during a 12-month period may have his licence suspended for a period of either two or four weeks or cancelled.
All food handlers working in the suspended premises would also be required to re-attend and pass the Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) Food Safety Course Level 1, before they can resume work as food handlers.
The licensee is also required to ensure that all food hygiene officers working in the suspended premises, if any, re-attend and pass the WSQ Food Safety Course Level 3.
Tom's Palette also has outlets in Outram and Kovan, which remain open.
