“We carried out an investigation immediately after a clip of a worker of the restaurant washing unsold food containing chicken, mutton and bean curd went viral on Tuesday. The department said it viewed food safety and hygiene at eateries seriously. “Restaurant owners and food handlers are duty-bound to ensure that the food served is safe for consumption at all times,” it said. It said compromising food safety or resorting to unhygienic food preparation practices can cause food poisoning. When contacted, a Seremban City Council spokesman said the restaurant owner was issued another three compounds for flouting its bylaws.
