It was unfortunate news when FamilyMart announces that one of their FamilyMart Malaysia suppliers has been tested positive for COVID-19. Because of that, some of their ready-to-eat food supply will be halted for the next seven days. Their foods like bento, onigiri, sandwiches, and also baked goods will not be available.
They have just released an official statement on their official Facebook social media page to clarify this issue. An immediate sanitization of the suppliers’ premises has been carried out and all staff is voluntarily quarantined as a precautionary measure.
“We are sad to inform you that one of our major suppliers has confirmed COVID-19 cases. They immediately sanitized their premises and voluntarily quarantined all staff with immediate effect as a precautionary measure. As a result, there will be disruptions to our ready-to-eat food supply for the next seven (7) days. Some affected items would be bentos, onigiris, sandwiches, and baked goods (bread),” wrote the statement.
FamilyMart stores that are located nationwide will still remain open with the new and revised operational hours during the MCO period. Despite all that, you can still get other food products that are not affected such as the oden, ice creams, fried foods, and many more.
