That's why food proprietors cannot take food hygiene lightly.... It's also hard to say lah since it's bento sets pre-prepped. They can only identify inadequate practices. Which frankly any kitchen will have given that u don't have large industrial sized kitchens (of course don't make glaring ones). Difficult to find evidence unless there was a food sample kept behind. Like SAF, every meal prepared have one sample left and kept specifically for post outbreak investigation.

BanCoe Hypersonic November 15, 2018 Share November 15, 2018 Nowadays many caterers and restaurant owners got worker shortages.... might be they compromised somewhere Even waiters are old people nowadays trying their best at 65+ to do their best too (this they can do at front line) but back end need young strong people (which they have difficulty getting) to work in a sweaty environment to work apart from being crammed too Anyways RIP to the poor young chap whom had so many much Utility Life to give and devote ; Lets see what the PostMortem results indicate... nowadays a lot of strange situations are happening too 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely there's some source of bacteria/bacterial toxins in the food. Deepavali celebrations, probably don't have raw salad bah. SAF always cooked so many meals for so many people, from last time by cooks and now outsource, think never heard any food poisoning case happened. But eatery and restaurant still can find cases of food poisoning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But eatery and restaurant still can find cases of food poisoning. SAF makes food hygiene a priority mah. And the person overseeing the cookhouse is a regular usually. So it's not just outsourced. Logically so, cos if u get a mass food poisoning, that means like 1 entire camp can be down before any button pushed lol. It will affect force readiness. I'm sure most military forces around the world also are quite particular regarding food hygiene. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per HACCP requirement (requirement under NEA's Food Safety Management System frame work), food sample have to be kept for up to 7 days. And since the poisoning involved large no. of people and was reported last week, likely investigation of the food sample is already in progress. Source of contamination maybe far more than we can imagine, such as: - raw material - kitchen equipment / utensils - improper storage of food (and non-food) items - environment / housekeeping - staff - packaging - improper handling (including delivery) - too long interval between cooking and serving time (4 hrs max) - etc. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic November 15, 2018 Author Share November 15, 2018 (edited) Usually NEA other than collecting sample food sample kept behind, they also do cleanliness and practice review of the whole kitchen. Also they can take swab samples from the food prep and fridge storage surfaces to culture the bacteria/virus. These information can be correlated to the stool/blood sample (septic state) from the patients warded. A reasonable match of the offending organism to the source can be made. For eg. E.coli, there are many strains ocurring in the wild and with the advert of fast DNA sequencing these days...the match can be made quite easily. just a matter of ho much effort they want to put towards getting to the bottom of the matter.

Lala81 Hypersonic November 15, 2018 Share November 15, 2018 i think NEA is pretty on the ball. Especially in serious cases like this. Think the previous case mentioned (geylang serai), the report was quite detailed also.

U mean those F&B outlets keep a sample of what they dish out? Zi char stall got or not LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic November 15, 2018 Author Share November 15, 2018 YEah, NEA very on the ball. I remembered coordinating with them and having helped them collected stool samples/anal swap from symptomatic bunch of workers down with gastroenteritis symptoms during a suspected outbreak at one of the canteen. They send their courier to collect the sample from us within the same day. i think NEA is pretty on the ball. Especially in serious cases like this. Think the previous case mentioned (geylang serai), the report was quite detailed also. I didn't know need to keep food sample. U mean those F&B outlets keep a sample of what they dish out? Zi char stall got or not LOL I think for catering business, they have to adhere to the sample keeping rule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zi char stall got or not LOL For caterer only. NEA Food Safety Management System With effect from 1 June 2014, all caterers are required to submit a proper Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)-based FSMS with reference to the Singapore Standard SS583:2013 as a basic guide. To further improve food hygiene standards in the food industry, NEA will be extending the FSMS requirement to all licences with permission to provide catering as an ancillary service, with effect from 1 April 2019. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even heard before school canteen also happened food poisoning before. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
