Downgrading of “Syiok Corner”, food stall located at Serangoon Garden Secondary School, 21 Serangoon North Avenue 1, Singapore 555889, due to food poisoning incident

 

14 persons were reported to have gastroenteritis symptoms after consuming food prepared by Syiok Corner on 28 September 2022. Two 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 29 September 2022 and 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 5 May 2023, to be reviewed in 12 months. The premises will also be kept under surveillance.

 

Food operators are reminded to adhere to good food hygiene and 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.
