Offering a number of soybean-based products from tofu to vegetarian chicken, Dolford Food Manufacturing company was convicted yesterday and fined S$3,000 (US$2,200) after its premises were found swarming with cockroaches and jumping with spiders.
The firm was found guilty of failing to meet the food safety standards in a routine July inspection of its Admiralty Street location. Inspectors found its food processing and packing rooms visibly dirty and filled with cockroaches, spiders and cobwebs, while the flooring, wall tiles and doors were structurally damaged.
Due to the hygiene lapses and poor maintenance, the company’s operating license was immediately suspended only eight days — July 30 through Aug. 7.
Dolford Food was founded in 2010 and specializes in soybean-based products such as egg tofu, beancurd skin, spiced tau kwa (firm tofu) and vegetarian duck and chicken.
