A Thai restaurant located at Golden Mile Tower is being investigated for allegedly selling pig blood curd (think beancurd, but made with pig blood), according to a media released earlier today (19 May) by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).
An operation was conducted at the restaurant, which is unnamed, by the SFA, who acted on a tip off.
SFA found the restaurant selling a dish containing pig blood curd, and is now being investigated for the illegal sale and possession for sale of animal blood curd.
Unsold pre-packed pig blood was also seized.
The sale of animal blood food products are banned in Singapore, because blood can easily support the growth of bacteria and spread diseases.
It can also introduce food borne pathogens into blood food products.
