Lunch box suppliers should adhere to good hygiene practices when preparing food and establish a food safety plan based on the "Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points" (HACCP) system to lower the risks of food contamination. At the same time, schools are also reminded to order lunch boxes from suppliers with a valid Food Factory Licence issued by the FEHD, and that suppliers are endorsed to provide lunch boxes. Before signing contracts with suppliers, schools should visit the premises to ensure that food handlers observe food safety and hygiene practices.

Besides those sold alive, raw oysters available in the local market are often pre-shucked in either frozen or chilled forms. If not handled properly, it can lead to bacterial contamination and deterioration of the shellfish. Pregnant women, infants and young children, the elderly and people with weakened immunity should avoid consuming raw or undercooked oysters.
