A catering company, Gourmetz, is charged in connection with a gastroenteritis incident at River Valley Primary School that leaves 60 students ill. Channel NewsAsia reports that food prepared by the company—ready-to-eat steamed chicken rice and garlic fried rice—allegedly contained food-borne bacteria at levels exceeding permissible limits. The Straits Times says the company is handed six charges for food safety offences under the Sale of Food Act. The charges relate to the alleged presence of harmful bacteria in the meals served, which prosecutors link to the outbreak among students. The reports do not indicate whether the company is responsible for every case of illness, but they describe the charges as concerning breaches of food safety requirements. The case is proceeding through the court process, with the allegations to be determined in court.
