Not too long ago, my colleague asked if we are still able to find 肉丁 anywhere in Singapore supermarket?
Abruptly i answered, "Got ba... i still saw some in my bf's mum kitchen cupboard..!"
But sadly, after i did a random search from NTUC, Giant or Prime, none have them. Thereafter, i went for a more detail search online and found this....

I not really sure if the 肉丁belong to Maling branding but i am pretty sure the Luncheon Meat is..!
My favorite luncheon, i remembered i used to cap off the tin with a tiny key-like looking thingy, following the trail around the tin and it would come off nicely.
Reports say that a banned cancer-causing antibiotic, Nitrifurans, was found in a batch of Maling luncheon meat. If you do notice, not only Maling luncheon meat can't be found, other brands of luncheon meat here seems to diminish from the shelves too. I think this causes a sounder to Singapore AVA, they seems to have imply stringent checks for other brandings too. Mulitple brands of sausages are seen in supermarkets here already instead of replacement brands of luncheon meat.
The ban inclues all canned-food products that range from pickled cabbage and preserved vegetables to canned fruit, beans, peas, bamboo shoots and mushrooms.
OMG... my favourite Mushrooms too...!
Sorry that i am a little bit slow on the news, this banned was imposed some time in Dec 2007.
