Infested with cockroaches and flies, the caterer’s kitchen was filthy, with water dripping from the ceiling into the cooked food.
Dirty water from the kitchen floor also splashed into uncooked food placed on the ground.
In the first such case prosecuted by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), the caterer was hauled to court yesterday for its unhygienic premises.
Adrian Lim Teck Lien, 42, the sole proprietor of AG (Global) Events Catering, was fined $5,000 after pleading guilty to two charges under the Sale of Food Act.
The charges were for breaching regulations on the storage of food and the maintenance of the food establishment.
According to the Singapore company’s website, AG (Global) Events Catering was the caterer for several big events, including the Standard Chartered Marathon in 2013 and the arrival ceremony of the giant pandas Jia Jia and Kai Kai in 2012.
It also said it has catered food for numerous government agencies and schools, including the National Environment Agency and the National University of Singapore.
