EVIDENCE OF COCKROACH INFESTATION, POOR KITCHEN HABITS
In the incident involving Food-talks Caterer and Manufacturer at Bedok North, 131 people were reported to have developed gastroenteritis symptoms after they ate food prepared by the caterer during a pre-school day camp.
Following a joint inspection, authorities said they found several hygiene lapses and poor kitchen habits.
These included evidence of a cockroach infestation and preparation of ready-to-eat food items one or two days before consumption.
Customers who had placed their orders for these items have been contacted and "assisted accordingly", the spokesman said.
"We remain committed to adhering to stringent food hygiene and sanitation standards across our food and beverage operations," she said.
Other lapses included a lack of proper segregation between raw and ready-to-eat food in the same chiller compartment and use of the same preparation table for raw food and ready-to-eat food items.

"While the exact causative agent could not be identified, the short incubation period from consumption of the food to development of symptoms, and the predominant symptom of vomiting, suggest that the outbreak was likely due to ingestion of toxins produced by bacteria in the food," said authorities.
