    According to the U.
    S.
    Food Safety News Network, nearly 300 people in Singapore fell ill
    after eating food from a catering company.
     
    Between 8 and 16 November, two food safety incidents in Singapore affected a total of 284 people who developed symptoms
    after eating food prepared by Rasel Catering Singapore.
     
    Singapore's Ministry of Health (MOH) said patients either sought outpatient treatment, treated themselves or recovered without assistance, with no one being hospitalized
    .
    The Ministry of Health told the company that two staff members had contracted norovirus and one staff member tested positive
    for salmonella infection.
     
    The Singapore Food Authority (SFA) has suspended operations of Rasel Catering until further notice
    .
    Foodservice providers must clean and disinfect the premises, including equipment and utensils, and handle all ready-to-eat and perishable foods
    .
     
    All food handlers working at the facility are required to retake and pass a food safety course and test negative for foodborne pathogens before returning to work
    .
    The designated food hygiene officer on site must retake and pass the food safety course before returning to work
    .
     
    Operators must always observe good food and personal hygiene practices, the SFA said, adding that it will not hesitate to take action
    against anyone who violates the Environmental Public Health Act.
     
    Rasel Catering apologized to affected customers and said it was still conducting a preliminary investigation while assisting SFA and MOH with their investigations
