Singapore authorities are investigating a Woodlands coffeeshop after complaints were made about staff preparing bread using their bare hands. The incident was reported on the Complaint Singapore Facebook page on September 28, with a netizen expressing disgust at the staff member preparing bread with their bare fingers and directly spreading butter onto the bread.
A video showed the staff member holding the bread with their bare hand, while using a spoon to scoop jam and spread it onto the bread. They then used their finger to spread the butter and folded the bread before placing it in a plastic bag. Netizens were appalled by the hygiene standards, with some suggesting reporting the incident to the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).
The SFA stated they are investigating the matter and may take enforcement action if there is sufficient evidence. They emphasized that food safety is a shared responsibility between the food operators and the public, and encouraged anyone with concerns to report to the SFA.
