MOH covers up Goodwood Park Poisoning, Staff upset

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

MOH personnel are unable to say who asked for Goodwood Park to be treated differently but they have been asked to be "cautious" with this case. To add truth to this, there has been no media update similar to Prima Deli Incident and Geylang Rojak incident. In both these cases, beside the press following thru, MOH released a series of updates to reassure the public that things were being done in an open and transparent manner.

As previously reported in the press, 76 people were affected and it took 5 weeks to close down the bakery. Staff were also tested much later and no one is confident if all the staff have been identified for testing.

In contrast to the 2007 Prima Deli Case, where MOH was notified on 23 Nov 2007 and testing of staff from all outlets and factory was commenced a few days after. It covered staff from 39 outlets, the factory and also all delivery and cleaning personnel. In total stool samples were taken from 428 people, of which 176 were from food handlers, 232 from outlet staff from across the country and 20 from victims of poisoning. From staff , 10 cases were identified carrying the strain.

For the Goodwood Park case, there is no details, no idea if all staff were tested and if some were let go before the testing etc. The media is also quiet and is not their usual self

MOH staff are really pissed.
