NTUC FairPrice removes all Asia Pulp & Paper Group products from its stores
SINGAPORE - Supermarket chain NTUC FairPrice is removing all Asia Pulp & Paper Group (APP) products from its shelves.
This comes after the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) temporarily suspended the firm's exclusive distributor Universal Sovereign Trading's use of their green label pending further investigations.
The move also comes shortly after FairPrice was asked by the SEC to sign a declaration form stating that it did not carry products from the five companies being investigated for their possible connection to the forest fires in Indonesia.
FairPrice carries 14 housebrand paper products. Of these, two are sourced from APP through Universal Sovereign. The rest of the products remain unaffected.
The chain also carries 16 other APP related products from various brands - including Paseo, NICE and Jolly - which will be pulled off the shelves too.
Late last month, the National Environment Agency (NEA) began legal action against Singapore-listed APP and four Indonesian firms that it believes to be behind the burning.
Mr Seah Kian Peng, NTUC FairPrice's executive director, said that FairPrice has been proactively monitoring the situation over the past week.
"As a fair business partner, we reserved taking action pending further information and investigation by the authorities," he said. "Our decision to withdraw all APP products is a result of the temporary restriction of their Green Label certification."
All APP products will be withdrawn with immediate effect and will no longer be available at all FairPrice stores by 5pm on Wednesday (Oct 5).
