With everyone getting lazier by day due to dine in restrictions, food delivery services have been a popular dining option since circuit breaker.

With more people using food delivery services, there has also been an increased number of cases involving “weirder” deliveries.

Not an Ordinary Delivery

A Stomper, Kate, placed an order for MOS Burger on Foodpanda at 4:49pm on 29 August. The order was to be prepared at the MOS Burger outlet located at Paya Lebar Square.

When her food arrived, Kate was shocked to find a biohazard bag from SGH inside her takeaway bag with her food.

In the photo, the bag is clearly labelled with “for laboratory use”. The origin of the bag is unknown, and thankfully, it doesn’t seem to contain anything. But God knows what it used to contain.

Kate then raised the case to Foodpanda as it was delivered by their rider. She was later refunded the full amount back. However, one thing was still missing.

An explanation.

MOS Burger later updated Kate to inform that they were liaising with Foodpanda on the case. They also mention that the rider could have gone to another place before delivering her food to her.

Ongoing Investigations

Currently, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) is investigating the case.

In response to a query from Stomp, a spokesman for SFA also mentions that the operators of food delivery services are subject to food safety and hygiene requirements under the Sale of Food Act and the Environmental Public Health Act. It is also their responsibility to ensure that the delivered food is transported hygienically.

It’s safe to say that SFA is booked and busy this year, as this is not the first case of odd deliveries.

Other Recent Mishaps

Earlier in August this year, SFA was also investigating a case of a cockroach found in a Stuff’d order. The order was bought from Changi Airport Terminal 3’s Stuff’d outlet by an anonymous stomper.

In the same month, SFA investigated another case of a cockroach leg found inside a bowl of banmian ordered on a food delivery app. The order was bought from Face Ban Mian along Anchorvale Road. SFA then inspected the said stall, but did not find any infringements of food safety and hygiene. Stingy much.

On 12 August, SFA investigated a case involving a fingernail found in a bowl of Teochew porridge. This time, it occurred at Heng Long Teochew Porridge at 1012 Upper Serangoon Road.
