The National Environment Agency (NEA) on Friday suspended the licence of Goodwood Park Hotel’s bakery.

According to a press release on the agency’s website, they moved to take action after multiple food poisoning incidents were traced to durian pastries prepared at the hotel on Scotts Road.

By Thursday, April 21, a total of 76 cases were reported, and the NEA, Ministry of Health (MOH), and Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) are investigating them.

The hotel’s bakery has to immediately cease the production, sale and distribution of all pastries and to dispose of all pastries prepared there, with effect from April 22 until further notice.

NEA also ordered the hotel to clean and sanitise its bakery, including equipment, utensils, work surfaces and toilets, and review and rectify the lapses in food preparation processes identified during the joint inspections.
