Food Safety Reports Include Singapore Complaint

Singapore’s food agency is investigating a customer’s report of a live cockroach in mixed rice from a stall in Tampines and may take enforcement action if evidence supports the claim. The report also cites Peoria County inspection findings, including cockroaches in a restaurant kitchen, an absent or uncertified person in charge, and sushi held at an unsafe temperature. Other findings included unavailable handwashing facilities at a mobile food unit, temperature-control problems, and sanitation or maintenance issues; Pennsylvania reports described several problems corrected during inspections. Health departments note that inspections reflect conditions only at the time they occur.
