S’pore Woman Allegedly Finds Delivery Rider Repacking Her Food With Bare Hands, Throws It Away

Delivery Rider Allegedly Caught Repacking Food With Bare Hands On 17 Mar

UPDATE (23 Mar): In response to MS News queries, a Foodpanda spokesperson said that the delivery rider in question has been suspended.

Foodpanda is also in contact with the customer to “process a refund” for the order.

The arrival of our food deliveries is often a joyous one, especially during occasions when our stomachs are desperate to be fed.

Recently, however, a woman found that there was some spillage in the bag when her food arrived.

Reviewing her CCTV footage, the customer found that the rider had allegedly used his bare hands to repack the food while unmasked.

Hope Foodpanda looks into unhygienic practice

Customers put their trust in delivery riders to food in a safe and hygienic manner.

To witness the delivery rider’s unsanitary practice must’ve been an unpleasant experience for the customer who was merely looking forward to enjoying her hearty supper.

Hopefully, Foodpanda looks into the incident and prevents such unhygienic practices moving forward.
