§ 122 — When Part 7 direction takes effect

122.—(1) Subject to subsections (2), (3) and (4), a Part 7 direction takes effect when it is given to the person to whom it is addressed, and continues in force until the earlier of the following occurs:(a)

the expiry date stated in the direction is reached;

(b)

for a direction under section 130 relating to an individual employed or engaged as a food worker by a food business licensee, the date the individual permanently ceases to be employed or engaged as a food worker by a food business licensee;

(c)

the Director‑General revokes the direction.

(2) A Part 7 direction that is given —(a)

in accordance with section 121(1) takes effect when it is given;

(b)

in accordance with section 121(2)(a) takes effect when it is given to all the persons in the class in question; and

(c)

in accordance with section 121(2)(b) takes effect at the beginning of the day after the date on which section 121(2)(b) has been complied with.

(3) However, for a direction under section 123 or 124 if the name and address of the proprietor of the food premises or the food vending machine or other equipment is unknown, the direction takes effect when a copy of it is affixed to a conspicuous part of the premises, food vending machine or other equipment (as the case may be) as ordered under section 123(4)(a) or 124(4)(a), whichever being applicable.

(4) Where the Director‑General gives —(a)

a movement control direction under section 125 prohibiting or restricting —(i)

any movement or relocation by the recipient of any specified food or primary produce within Singapore or into or out of a stated area in Singapore; or

(ii)

any undertaking by the recipient of any activity involving the supply of any specified food or primary produce in Singapore;

(b)

a direction under section 128 to recall food that is unsafe or unsuitable or is a defined food, or whose safety or suitability is in doubt; or

(c)

a direction under section 134(1) requiring the recipient to do any thing mentioned in section 134(2)(a), (b) or (c),

because the Director‑General has reasonable grounds to believe that the direction is necessary or desirable to prevent or control a threat (actual or imminent) to public health or an imminent risk of death or serious illness, or to prevent or control a significant threat (actual or imminent) to supply sources of food for the general public, that direction takes effect in accordance with subsection (2) but expires on (and including) the 10th day after that date it takes effect.

(5) However, the cessation of a Part 7 direction under a provision in this Part having effect (whether or not by revocation) does not prevent another Part 7 direction being made and given by the Director‑General if the Director‑General is satisfied that the circumstances warrant it under that same provision.
