       19 persons were reported to have developed gastroenteritis symptoms after consuming food prepared by Minum Kopi Café & Bakery Pte Ltd on 15 Oct 2023. Four were hospitalised and have since been discharged.


2     A joint investigation by the Ministry of Health and the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) was conducted following the incident. Several hygiene lapses were identified during the inspection of the food shop on 19 Oct 2023, and SFA will be taking enforcement actions against the licensee for these lapses.
