A recent incident at a FairPrice outlet in Pasir Ris has raised eyebrows as a TikToker shared her unexpected encounter with a rat in the bread section.
This incident has sparked concerns about food safety and hygiene in supermarkets.
The TikToker’s Discovery
On Friday, October 6th, a TikTok user, @ayuuuniaz, shared a video about how she went about her regular grocery shopping at the FairPrice supermarket. Little did she know that her trip would take an unexpected turn.
As she approached the bread section, she noticed a large rat’s long, thin and grimy tail sticking out from the inside the shelf and among the food items. The sight was undeniably startling, but she bravely ventured closer to get a better look.
As @ayuuuniaz moved closer, the rat darted deeper into the shelf and ended up on some packets of sandwiches.
Rather than panicking, she managed to find humor in the situation. She jokingly commented that the rat was in the “wrong alley” as there was no cheese around, and even referred to the rodent as being cute.
Showing remarkable composure, she promptly informed the supermarket staff, who, in turn, alerted pest control.
FairPrice’s Response
A spokesperson for FairPrice confirmed that they were alerted to the incident on 2 October, which took place at their outlet at Pasir Ris West Plaza, according to 8world news.
They said that they have since taken preventing measures to make sure that customers can shop in a safe environment and reiterated this emphasis on food hygiene and safety.
