A customer has claimed to have found a live cockroach in a ‘cai fan’ meal bought from a stall at Tampines Bus Interchange, prompting an investigation by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).<\/p>\n
The customer shared the experience in a Facebook post in the Singapore Heritage Food group, along with a photograph of the cockroach in the food and an electronic payment record of $5.50.<\/p>\n
“Such a filthy place,” wrote the Facebook user Johnson LK in the post. “Please stop harming people like this. Be clean.”<\/p>\n
He told 8world that the incident happened on Wednesday evening (Nov 4) after buying takeaway mixed rice and discovering the insect after eating a few mouthfuls.<\/p>\n
The customer added that the post was intended to alert others so they would not have a similar experience.<\/p>\n
A subsequent online search also turned up a Google review from another customer who claimed to have found a cockroach in food bought from the same stall about a year earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The customer had paid $7 for the meal and discarded it after discovering the insect at home.<\/p>\n
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said it was looking into the matter and may contact the person who submitted feedback for more details as part of its investigation and evidence-gathering process.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The agency said it would not hesitate to take enforcement action if sufficient evidence was obtained.<\/p>\n
SFA added that food safety was a shared responsibility, with food operators expected to maintain good hygiene and food preparation practices, as well as keep their premises clean and well-maintained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
