Just two days ago, an 8-year-old kid discovered maggots crawling in his sausage bun, bought by his mother from a Four Leaves bakery outlet at Hougang Mall.
Or so claims the mother, Ms Ivy Yeo, in a Facebook video uploaded on Monday. Unsurprisingly, the video went viral quickly, reaching upwards of 12,000 views within 2 days. On Tuesday, she uploaded an update, saying that her son was referred to a hospital, but has already returned home to rest.
With some admirable speed, Four Leaves director Koji Tanabe issued a statement on Wednesday apologising for the incident, and investigations began immediately.
According to the statement, Mr Tanabe clarified that all of Four Leaves’ buns are baked fresh daily, and any unsold buns are donated or thrown away on the same baking day. They do not keep and sell any overnight buns at any outlet.
Also, in light of this incident, Four Leaves has since stopped selling any products containing sausages in every outlet.
He also added that Four Leaves has been using sausages from the same brand for many years, and this was the first time anything like that had happened.
NEA has also issued a statement of their initial inspections and investigations of the implicated outlet. According to the statement, they have confirmed that the sausage buns, as well as all the other buns, are prepared daily at the outlet in batches to ensure freshness.
They have also concluded that there were no hygiene lapses in the handling and preparation of the buns, and the premises was well maintained with no evidence of pests. All handlers also exhibited good food and personal hygiene practises.
In other words, everything was fine with the outlet, and as far as NEA could tell, the buns too.
And then, the video was removed yesterday. There’s only a screenshot left.
In any case, please watch out for yourself and pay more attention to what you eat. You can never be too careful.
And of course, before you post anything online, you might want to contact the relevant parties first.
