The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has downgraded the food hygiene grade of The Line Restaurant at Shangri-la Hotel from “A” to “C” with effect from Sep. 8, 2023.

A total of 10 people were reported to have developed gastroenteritis symptoms after consuming food prepared at the restaurant at Orange Grove Road on Dec. 26, 2022.

Two of them were hospitalised.

A joint investigation by the Ministry of Health and SFA was conducted following the incident.

No hygiene lapses were identified during the inspection on Dec. 30, 2022.

However, SFA will be taking enforcement action against the licensee for selling unclean food.

SFA has adjusted the food hygiene grade of the establishment from “A” to “C” with effect from Sep. 8, 2023.

The grade will be reviewed in 12 months.

The premises will also be kept under surveillance.

The release by SFA added: "Food business operators are reminded to adhere to good food safety processes."

"Good hygiene practices such as the washing of hands before handling food can greatly reduce the incidence of gastroenteritis when adopted by all key stakeholders, including the industry and public."

SFA also added a disclaimer in their release: "The information provided on this website should not be used as basis for any legal proceedings."

"Neither SFA nor any of its employees involved in the supply of the above information shall be liable for any loss or damage suffered by any member of the public by reason of any error or omission of whatever nature appearing therein or however caused."

1. Quote: "A joint investigation by the Ministry of Health and SFA was conducted following the incident. No hygiene lapses were identified during the inspection on Dec. 30, 2022."

This is so stupid to conduct an investigation AFTER the incident. Any food operator would have cleaned up the place after any incident.

2. Why does it take more than 8 months to downgrade the restaurant?

Because Robert Kuok is top crony with the government and Shangri-la is too important to the government for hosting top-level meetings?
Was the SFA waiting for clearance from PM Lee for the downgrade from A to C?

Which food was contaminated?

ugh... it was never good. A paean to sinkie greed, excess and flashiness. Couldn't understand why it was so popular. Everything there tasted like a watered down version of it's original form with hipster setting and presentation.
