A sample of salad that was being prepared in a Tung Lok kitchen in Tai Seng was found to contain E. coli.
SINGAPORE: Tung Lok Millennium, a subsidiary of Tung Lok Restaurants, was fined S$3,000 by a court on Wednesday for preparing contaminated food.
A representative for the company pleaded guilty to one count of preparing unsafe food. A second charge of failing to ensure its establishment was properly maintained and clean was taken into consideration. The court heard that the Singapore Food Agency conducted an inspection at the licensed premises after receiving a complaint about gastroenteritis from an event at CHIJMES.The inspectors observed staff members at the Tai Seng kitchen preparing ready-to-eat washed salad and sent a sample of it for analysis.
While the company has no similar previous convictions in court, it has previously been issued composition fines."The supplier has the duty or responsibility to ensure this food is safe and suitable for consumption as well," the representative said through a Mandarin interpreter.On questioning by the judge, the SFA prosecutor clarified that the charge was not directly linked to the gastroenteritis incident at CHIJMES.
