SINGAPORE - Plaza Singapura's BreadTalk & Toast Box has been suspended for two weeks for a rodent and cockroach infestation.
According to a suspension notice on the National Environment Agency's website put up on Friday (May 25), the stall at #01-23 at 68 Orchard Road was suspended from Friday to June 7.
The licensee has accumulated 12 demerit points over the last 12 months for failing to keep its licensed premises free of rodent and cockroach infestation. It was also fined $800.
Licensees who accumulate 12 or more demerit points during a 12-month period may have their licences suspended for either two or four weeks, or cancelled altogether.
All food handlers who work in the suspended premises would also be required to attend and pass the Basic Food Hygiene Course again, before they can resume work as food handlers.
NEA said it takes a serious view of these offences and would like to remind food operators to observe good food and personal hygiene practices at all times, and to engage only registered food handlers.
Members of the public who come across poor hygiene practices in food establishments may call NEA's 24-hour contact centre on 1800-CALL NEA (1800-2255-632) with details for follow-up investigations.
The BreadTalk Group - which includes brands like BreadTalk, Toast Box and Food Republic - was founded in 2000 and now has close to 1,000 outlets in 17 locations.
ST has contacted BreadTalk & Toast Box for more information.
