Stamford Catering is fined S$8,000 after gastroenteritis symptoms affected more than 180 people, according to multiple reports. The case follows health authorities’ investigations into Stamford Catering’s food premises after outbreaks of gastroenteritis-like symptoms among diners connected to the company’s food operations.
Channel NewsAsia reports that inspectors uncover food-safety lapses during separate inspections conducted in 2024 and 2025. These include food being kept in stagnant water and a dirty food warmer, pointing to hygiene and safe food-handling failures. The Straits Times adds that Stamford Catering’s operations were suspended in October 2024, indicating regulatory action taken during the earlier phase of the matter.
The reported fine reflects findings by health authorities that the company’s practices did not meet food safety requirements. The reports present the issue as the result of lapses found at the premises during inspections, alongside the broader impact on affected individuals over the period in question.
