A customer alleges finding a live cockroach in a 'cai fan' meal purchased from a stall at Tampines Bus Interchange, prompting the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) to launch an investigation. The incident reportedly occurred on Wednesday evening, November 4, when the customer bought takeaway mixed rice and discovered the insect after consuming a few bites.
The customer shared the experience on a Facebook post in the Singapore Heritage Food group, including a photo of the cockroach in the food and an electronic payment record of S$5.50. The customer expressed disgust at the filthy conditions, urging authorities to ensure cleanliness. The same stall allegedly had a previous incident a year ago, with another customer finding a cockroach in their food and discarding it at home.
SFA confirms it is investigating the matter and may contact the informant for more information. The agency emphasizes its commitment to food safety, urging food operators to maintain good hygiene and cleanliness. The public is encouraged to report any food safety concerns through SFA's online feedback form.
