The company has also taken swift action to inform their supplier regarding the case for their review.

Old Chang Kee assured that they would follow up closely with them on the issue and continue to communicate directly with the customer.

Food hygiene is paramount

While food establishments in Singapore are often held to high hygiene and safety standards, this is certainly not the first of such incidents.
