Food safety is now a very big thing in Singapore.
Especially after the recent unfortunate Spize incident.
The Mandarin Orchard Grand Ballroom wedding lunch incident.
And the Tung Lok catering incident.
Yup, I guess you can say that food safety might be the number one concern in Singapore right now.
Which makes this lady’s reaction perfectly justifiable.
Here’s what happened.
Woman Found Maggots in Quail Eggs Bought From Bedok NTUC
On 9 December, Facebook user Geraldine Chua uploaded a Facebook video to the NTUC FairPrice Facebook Page.
And let’s just say that it’s pretty nasty.
Warning: if you’re going to eat lunch or dinner, don’t read on. Otherwise, go ahead.
Imagine one fine day, you decided to make quail eggs for your family.
You take the box out of the pantry, crack it open…only to find this.
Wriggling maggots in quail eggs.
I’ll zoom in for you because I’m good like that.
Nasty.
So there you are, thinking, did I miss the expiry date? Maybe I did. No wonder it’s so cheap.
So you flip the box cover to check.
Only to see that it wasn’t even close.
Yup.
That was what the situation Geraldine Chua faced.
She claimed that she had bought the Chef’s Quail Eggs from Bedok NTUC. She requested for NTUC FairPrice to be more stringent in their quality control measures.
NTUC FairPrice has since responded
NTUC FairPrice has since responded and apologised for the incident.
They said that they will be looking into the matter and would like to get in touch with her privately.
Netizens’ Responses
Now, let us look at the gold mine that is the netizens’ corner. Kind of like Hong Lim Park, just not as regulated.
Methinks NTUC not paying them enough for QC.
Then, there are those who will make a joke of everything.
It’s NTUC again.
But there exist netizens who are willing to give NTUC the benefit of the doubt
How do you know when your brand has succeeded in gaining trust with consumers? When even in times like these with video evidence, people are still willing to fight for you.
You’re a liar.
Is this corporate espionage?
Making a mountain out of a molehill
The eggs might’ve had been cracked or broken, which resulted in maggots “in eggs”
Which explains the following comments.
It’s the duty of NTUC to supply, it’s the duty of consumers to check before they buy. (On a separate note, that rhymes #FutureRapGod)
Moral of the story? Check every egg in the packaging carefully before you buy.
And to be very safe, always cook thoroughly your food before you makan. At least the damage won’t be that bad.
