Food Shop Licence

Analist · 09-08-2011, 05:20 PM

Dear brothers and sisters

I am considering setting up a cafe, probably in some shop house at the fringe of town. Still looking around.

I understand I need to apply for a food shop licence. As I intend to do some light cooking (no open fire), I am wondering if I can do away from things like grease trap and flue system per below:

Fumes, smoke, oil mist, grease, steam and odour from the cooking range shall be exhausted either by an air cleaning system or a hood and flue system. The air cleaning system shall be fitted with a fire retardant filter media that is able to withstand high cooking heat and have high adsorption capacity even under humid conditions. In the case of the hood and flue system, it shall be fitted with a grease filter that is able to withstand high cooking heat, and extractor fan. The flue shall discharge at a point above roof and away from neighbouring premises.

Anyone had such experience where the nea officer can forego such requirements?

Thanks!
