Downgrading of "Drinks & Snacks" - 288683, due to food poisoning incident.

 

29 persons were reported to have developed gastroenteritis symptoms after consuming food prepared by “Drinks & Snacks” food stall at Nanyang Girls’ High School (2 Linden Drive, Singapore 288683) on 11 November 2022. None of them were hospitalised.

 

A joint investigation by the Ministry of Health and the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) was conducted following the incident. Several hygiene lapses were identified during the inspection of the food stall on 14 November 2022. SFA will be taking enforcement actions against the licensee for these lapses.

 

SFA has adjusted the food stall’s food hygiene grade from “A” to “C” with effect from 8 September 2023, to be reviewed in 12 months. The premises will also be kept under surveillance.

 

Food business operators are reminded to adhere to good food safety processes. Good hygiene practices such as the washing of hands before handling food can greatly reduce the incidence of gastroenteritis when adopted by all key stakeholders, including the industry and public.
