Frozen food left outside restaurant to thaw every morning may get contaminated

STOMPer Concern claims a box of what looks like frozen food is left to thaw outside this Toa Payoh restaurant every morning, and is concerned that 'bacteria might multiply rapidly under such conditions'.

Says the STOMPer:

"I am deeply concerned about the handling of food by this restaurant located at Toa Payoh Entertainment Centre.

"Almost everyday when I walk past at 8am I see a box, which looks like frozen food, left outside the restaurant.

"On other days I recognize a box with a brand name Sadia on it, which supplies frozen pork from Brazil.

"Frozen food is supposed to be kept at very low temperature and thawed only when it is to be consumed.

"With Singapore's hot and humid weather and the constant freezing and thawing, bacteria might multiply rapidly under such conditions.

"I was concerned at the possible contamination of meat in that box.

"Going by their lunch serving hours starting from 11.30am, the box will probably be there for few hours since 8am."

89dreamer89, you are right. "You sure that box contain food? did you check it out? If yes why din you take down the photo of the food? They might have taken out the food and thaw it in the kitchen, and then left the box outside for the cleaner to clear.."
The person who posted this should gather more information, such a time waster! Beware this restaurant might sue you for this!

In the past around 7.30am, I saw pigeons trying to 'eat' on the plastic sheet of frozen chicken outside a famous restaurant at jalan besar.

It's the same for the BBQ Chicken restaurant at Alexandra Retail Center. Sometimes there's a bloody puddle around the box of frozen food outside the restaurant by 8 plus in the morning because the frozen chickens have thawed. Very disgusting and unhygienic indeed!
