Chinese restaurant hit by one-star Google reviews for cooking seafood foraged from Singapore’s Changi Beach

It has also conducted refresher training on food safety and handling for its management and kitchen teams.

The restaurant acknowledged that some of its earlier online responses had not clearly explained the situation and may have caused further confusion, and apologized for that.

It said it was committed to higher standards in food safety, responsible sourcing and maintaining guests’ trust.

The Singapore Food Agency said there are no regulations prohibiting food businesses from preparing wild-foraged seafood or other ingredients supplied by customers.

However, food businesses must ensure that food prepared on their premises is fit for human consumption and handled under sanitary conditions.

The agency warned that wild marine life collected from public shores may pose significantly higher food safety risks.
