Here is their media statement:

Singapore, 22 April 2016 – Goodwood Park Hotel would like to extend our sincere apologies to all our guests affected by the temporary cessation of sales of durian pastries and other pastries produced by the hotel’s pastry kitchen.

The hotel is cooperating closely with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and National Environment Agency (NEA) on the necessary actions, following the suspension of the hotel’s pastry production today, due to incidents concerning the consumption of durian pastries.

We would like to assure the public and all our guests that we treat all matters relating to food safety standards very seriously. We are addressing the food handling lapses in the durian pastry kitchen highlighted by NEA and aim to rectify them soonest possible.

During this period, the hotel will not be able to produce desserts for the following restaurants, namely Gordon Grill, L’Espresso, Coffee Lounge and Deli. We have sourced from reputable establishments for alternatives to replace the affected desserts.

Goodwood Park Hotel has had a good reputation for the past 33 years selling durian pastries, and we understand this suspension may cause some distress to our guests. We hope that they will give us a chance to restore their confidence in our usual high standards of quality of our pastries.
