4 August 2015 5:09pm @ Nex Icing room (under Breadtalk)

Saw the staff take out a Bengawan Solo box. As i was wondering why there was a box from their competitor, the staff proceeded to take out the kueh lapis cake and starting spreading frosting over it. (See bengawan solo box below cake stand)

Not only does Breadtalk take Yeo’s soyabean and repackage it as their own, they also repackage other’s bakes as their own. Just apply ur own frosting and decoration over the cake and sell it as ur product? Not entirely appropriate right, cos i might think the cake is nice and since i bought it from
Breadtalk, it should be baked by breadtalk, not bengawan solo.

You may view the original post here. Earlier this year, Breadtalk also capitalised on Lee Kuan Yew’s death to market its bread:

Breadtalk's owner takes his cue from the PAPzis he supports: takes other people's achievements and claim them to be his own.

I'm very disappointed in you. Where is the spin that breadtalk is just "repackaging"/"value add" to good ole Singapore made products and reselling them in a nice ambiance like their own shop?

This is breadtalk ways of collaboration with other sinkies in the nauseating SG50.

BreakTalk is finished when Yeo and BS sue for illegal repackaging of their products.
May be, they might settle out of court, but the damage on BreakTalk brand has been done.
Shameless owners.,

You want to stop this from happening? Boycott Breadtalk. And it's not just the bakeries, but also Toast Box, Din Tai Fung, Food Republic, Ramenplay etc.

Voting with your wallet is very powerful. Try it.

so long as sinkies are willing to queue up in long lines and pay for repackaged crap, it's not a poor business model. the formula is in a (high rent) choice location with high traffic, semi-open sitting area with bright and casual ambience, coffee and food aroma creeping into hallway and other shops, comfort makan at inflated but semi-affordable prices and kaboom.....sinkie sheep will fall in line. in fact, at all eateries and food courts under mrt malls sinkie throngs are extremely gian png. there are even long lines at donut shops in the evening. read my signature and go figure.

Hahaha....all the gong cheebyes agreed that fakes are not acceptable yet they continue to support a fake oppo party...lol.
Now to collect my scraps from the master doggie.

Since when is it a crime to repackage a product?

As long as there is no fraud or misrepresentation, it is perfectly legal.

that is legal context.. business depends very much on the customers' perception context.. When customers feel cheated, the business is over..

SINGAPORE - Confectionary chain BreadTalk has pulled its soya bean drink from its shelves, after a photograph showing an employee filling up plastic bottles with Yeo's brand soya bean milk made its rounds on the Internet.

The post, first published on online site Redwire Times on Monday evening, claimed that the chain was selling the packaged soya bean drink as "freshly prepared".

Posted by someone known as Kev, the post called the discovery "shocking".



"This 'freshly prepared' soya bean milk from BreadTalk always tasted very familiar, but somehow I couldn't figure out why until now. You see for yourself why. This BreadTalk staff is just pouring Yeo's soya bean milk into bottles of 'freshly prepared' soya bean sold by BreadTalk," he said.

When contacted, BreadTalk admitted that the drink was from a Yeo's packet, and that it buys the drink in one-litre packs from Yeo's in bulk. The company then repackages it into plain plastic bottles with the words "freshly prepared" on them, seals the bottles, and sells them at its stores.

The problem, said the BreadTalk spokesman, arose after the chain used the bottles with "freshly-prepared" labels to package the soy milk. The bottles are also used to package fresh juice for sale.

"We have heard our customers' feedback about our bottled soya bean milk," she said. "We would like to apologise for any misaligned presentation or wrong impressions created, and clarify that it is never our intention to mislead."


The chain will resume selling the drink out of labelled drink dispensers instead "to prevent misunderstanding", said the spokesman.

Retail experts said it is common for eateries to buy in bulk and then repackage items, especially with the current labour crunch. But it is less common for them to sell them as freshly-prepared.

"Firms just buy generic products in bulk or outsource production," said Singapore Polytechnic senior retail lecturer Sarah Lim, who added that it is then up to the retailer to decide on pricing. "It depends on demand, rental and other costs."

In the case of the soya bean drink, selling it as freshly-prepared would have been unethical as it gave the impression that the drink was brewed in-house.

Meanwhile, a picture of a staff member icing a Bengawan Solo layered cake at an Icing Room store, which also comes under BreadTalk, was also posted on Tuesday. It led some to ask if the under-fire bakery was also using cakes from rival bakeries.

Insisting that this was the wrong impression, the BreadTalk spokesman said: “A staff member brought in the cake on her own accord to be decorated by a colleague. This is not allowed, and staff will be reminded of that.”
