SINGAPORE — Ms Jayice Tan and her husband were enjoying their ready-to-eat sashimi rice bowl that they bought from Don Don Donki Singapore's outlet at 100AM mall last Wednesday (Feb 8), when she spotted 'something unusual' on a piece of raw fish.
"At Don Don Donki, proper cold chain management is maintained and we make the best attempts to conduct thorough visual checks throughout the handling process," said the spokesperson.
The company also said it would like to raise awareness that parasites naturally thrive in an aquatic environment and that parasites in wild-caught fresh fishes and seafood are not uncommon. "Ready-To-Eat raw fish is considered a high-risk food as it does not go through a cooking process. Besides microbiological contamination, the consumption of RTE raw fish also carries a risk of contracting parasitic diseases," the agency said.In line with international standards, SFA conducts more stringent checks on food, like raw fish, which are more susceptible to food-borne diseases.
