CHP investigates case of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli infection
The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health is today (October 15) investigating a case of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infection, and hence reminded the public to maintain good personal, food and environmental hygiene against intestinal infections.
The case involves a 47-year-old male with good past health, who presented with abdominal pain and diarrhoea on September 23. He attended Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital (HKSH)on September 26, September 27 and October 3. His condition was stable and did not require hospitalisation.
His stool specimen grew STEC upon laboratory testing.

Stamford Catering Services came to attention when 51 people got sick with gastroenteritis after eating their food on October 12. As a result, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) and the Ministry of Health (MOH) initiated probes into the issue. The authorities have made a bold decision to halt the food business activities of Stamford Catering Services from October 14 onwards until further instructions.
According to CNA, the SFA required the company to follow certain measures during the suspension, such as thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing its premises, equipment, and utensils.
Moreover, all employees who handle food at the establishment must successfully finish the Food Safety Course Level 1 and receive a clean test result for foodborne illnesses before returning to their responsibilities. Furthermore, the designated food hygiene officer is required to undergo and complete the Food Safety Course Level 3 to return to their duties.
Stamford Catering Services has experienced food safety incidents before. In 2019, the catering service’s food hygiene rating was lowered to “C” following a food poisoning incident that impacted 52 people. Consecutive inspections conducted by MOH and SFA uncovered concerning results, such as elevated levels of bacteria in food and environmental samples, along with numerous hygiene deficiencies.
The repeated instances of food safety problems at Stamford Catering Services have sparked significant worries about the overall cleanliness and safety measures at the establishment. Therefore, the company is facing more scrutiny as the public waits for updates on the ongoing investigations.
Due to the seriousness of the situation, CNA requested a statement from Stamford Catering Services regarding the suspension. Moreover, people are advised to inform the SFA through online platforms about any cases of inadequate hygiene practices in food establishments

| Food Recall | Yes, various Silk and Great Value brand plant-based refrigerated beverages recalled nationally |
| Investigation status | Closed |
In total, 20 laboratory-confirmed cases of Listeria monocytogenes illness were linked to this outbreak in:
Investigation findings identified plant-based refrigerated beverages from Silk and Great Value as the likely source of the outbreak.
On July 8, 2024, a food recall warning was issued for various Silk and Great Value brand plant-based refrigerated beverages, with October 4, 2024 as the latest best before date. For more information on the recalled products, please consult the Canadian Food inspection Agency (CFIA) recall notice on the Government of Canada Recalls and Safety Alerts website.
People became sick between August 2023 and mid-July 2024. Of the cases reported to us, 15 people have been hospitalized and three individuals have died. Many people who became sick reported drinking recalled plant-based beverages before their illnesses occurred.
The outbreak appears to be over and the investigation has been closed.
The food safety investigation included product and environmental sampling by the companies and the CFIA. The presence of the L. monocytogenes outbreak strain was confirmed within the production environment, however the primary site of the contamination within the environment was not able to be identified.
As a result, all production at the facility remains stopped, the manufacturing lines are being disassembled and the facility is being renovated. Production at the facility will not restart until the necessary corrective measures are implemented, including enhanced safety and production protocols, and the CFIA is satisfied that any contamination has been eliminated.
