<!-- story content : start --> THE man at the centre of the Indian rojak food poisoning case will be charged in court on May 11, said the National Environment Agency (NEA) on Monday. Mr Sheik Allaudin Mohideen, 70, will face three charges: selling food unfit for human consumption at his stall, failing to keep his chopping board clean and failing to keep his fridge tray clean.
Two women died while 150 others became seriously ill after eating from the former stallholder's stall at the Geylang Serai Temporary Market in April last year. No further court action will be taken up against his assistants. However, they can only resume as food handlers after they pass a Basic Food Hygiene Course.
