Members of the public are advised to take precaution and identify the source of raw chicken wings before purchasing them.
Sibu Health Officer Dr Muhammad Rais Abdullah said it was important that they do so to ensure the chicken wings are safe for consumption.
"Be smart shoppers and do not be easily swayed by offers of below market price raw chicken wings.
"Ensure that you buy or obtain raw chicken wings from legitimate suppliers," he said in a statement today.
The statement was issued amid fears of some quarters selling chicken wings which had been disposed of by an enforcement agency here last Friday.
Several containers of chicken wings which were allegedly seized at the Rajang Port Authority here were said to have been disposed of by burying them in a hole on a land owned by a private company in Bukit Aup.
News spread and dozens of residents in the area were alleged to have dig out the chicken wings, which were said to be still frozen, yesterday.
Authorities have since cordoned off the area.
