“Stamford Catering Services’ food business operations have been suspended by the authorities after reports of food poisoning,” the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) and Ministry of Health (MOH) announced.
“In view of the incident, SFA has suspended the food business operations of Stamford Catering Services … with effect from Oct 14 until further notice,” the statement said.
Stamford Catering Services must comply with measures during the suspension period, including cleaning and sanitizing its premises, equipment, and utensils. Food handlers working at its premises are required to re-attend and pass the Food Safety Course Level 1 as well as test negative for foodborne pathogens before resuming work.
“The appointed food hygiene officer working at the premises must re-attend and pass the Food Safety Course Level 3 before he or she can resume work as a food hygiene officer,” added SFA.
Located at 24A Senoko South Road, Stamford Catering Services had its food hygiene grade downgraded to “C” in 2019 after a food poisoning incident affected 52 people. Joint inspections conducted by MOH and SFA revealed a high bacterial load in food and environmental samples, along with other hygiene lapses.
When asked for comment on the suspension, CNA reached out to Stamford Catering Services. Members of the public are encouraged to report poor hygiene practices in food establishments to SFA.
