NTUC FairPrice says it has 4 months' stockpile of frozen chicken; authorities say no need to panic buy

[Kunkka]

If no more chilled chickens available, the stockpile of 4 months' normal consumption of frozen chicken will be gone in a month.
Most people I know don't eat the frozen ones. But will have to from June

How come frozen no good?

wah 4 months stockpile become aged chicken already.

Asked about businesses which are heavily reliant on fresh chicken, Mr Tan suggested that they could consider switching to frozen chicken meat.

"But if there are certain businesses that can only serve chilled chicken then of course, if their businesses are affected, we will see how we can help them to tide through the period," he said.

Mr Tan said the authorities are monitoring the situation closely, but no price increases have been observed.

Ms Elaine Heng, chief executive for retail business at FairPrice Group, said that the supermarket chain is looking at how “we can absorb these costs”.

She noted that the chain has reduced egg prices and conducted price promotions for oil.

“So on the same topic of chicken, we are doing our best to take into consideration the current environment and to moderate the cost of living to our best abilities.”

Ms Heng also said the chain does not plan to impose any purchase limits on chicken as they are still able to replenish stocks.

“We would actually potentially consider this in consultation with other retailers and the government agencies,” she said.

Ms Heng also said FairPrice has a stockpile of four months of frozen chicken, with another two months worth coming in soon.

“We’d like to encourage our customers to consider frozen chicken and other alternative protein options.”
