The  deadly bak kwa doesn't deserve to command such a high retail price given it's undesirable flaw.

When people stop eating, they will have no choice but  to cut price.

The boss themselves dont eat bak gua by the way...

I seldom touch such unhealthy food.  Only during CNY to give face. And such ridiculous pricing.  Should be priced low low for toxic consumption.

What kind of rubbish logic is that? As long as the food pose health risk, it should be banned and not giving excuses for Bee Cheng Hiang that it is usually consumed occasionally and not large quantities. How do they know some ignorant uncles might eat large amount and on regular basis because they can buy cheaper from JB. ....

The ministry never feel guilty until now. Always other countries have to discover danger for them to comment 🤦

[Instinct]

Everybody just eat less or avoid totally. Such food is bad and should be priced much lower at $20 per kg max, or same as roast pork. Think of it, better and cheaper to eat roast pork than back kwa.

Those highly profitable bak kwa companies have over the years made more than enough to feed their future generations. 

High time that they do some good for society, rather than continue to slowly "kill" humans via their toxic products with sky high prices.

in fact, most food prepared by using oven, pan, oil are having carcinogens.

[p1acebo]

Going by SFA's silly logic, then asbestos should pose no risk to as everyday folk are not expose to it all the time. So occasionally ish ok?

[sgbuffett]

Lots of food have carsinogic substances including coffee sausages and all process foods. Most of the time it is Low levels ...but preserve food is probably the worse..


But looking at every thing as a whole the biggest risk for cancer is SUGAR

Red meat causes cancer, colon cancer….unlike veggies it takes much longer time to process red meat in your colon, red meat could have chemical reaction along the way with inner layer of colon.

Bah Kwa is a good source of income for the govt coffer. They must say alright with weird and illogical reasoning in order not to wipe out this source of lucrative income. They only hope people dun eat too much to screw up their health. ...

Cooking meat at high temperature creates carcinogens

The two types of carcinogens are heterocyclic amines – related to pan-searing – and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which come from smoke. Grilling or barbequing will create both these carcinogens.

too much sugar in these food.
not properly bbq during cny period when demand is so high they employ non trained people to bbq.
turn out like charcoal.

it is also happening to those char siew stall. they dip the entire chunk of char siew into sugar solution to increased weight and when bbq these sugar turn black black. really consumption of these black burn carsinogenic food is harmfull. don't say eat little is ok. little bit little bit add together is like a small mountain
