Imagine hearing some rustling sounds while eating, only to find out another little creature is also tucking into its food.

This was what TikTok user @vinnography came across while eating at Bánh Mì Saigon, a popular Vietnamese food stall located at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8.

The videos were taken on the evening of May 19 and uploaded a day later.

According to the caption, the user saw a “medium sized rat” among the packages of instant noodles on the shelf after hearing some sounds coming from the plastic packaging.

“At least one packet was bitten and torn open,” he wrote.

He said that he informed the staff about the situation but they did not act on the feedback promptly. After waiting for 15 minutes, he decided to leave.

The user said that they have alerted the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).

Mothership has also reached out to SFA for comment.

Similar experiences

As of the time of writing, the video had garnered over 100,400 views and 2,900 likes.

A few commentators pointed out that they had good food at Banh Mi Saigon but later experienced diarrhoea.

Some others noted that they had intended to go, but were thankful they had not done so.

And of course, the Ratatouille jokes.

A search on Google maps showed that Bánh Mì Saigon had largely positive reviews, with a 4.6 star rating.

Apology from Bánh Mì Saigon

In response to the incident, the Vietnamese food stall posted an apology statement on their Facebook page on May 21, noting that they have since engaged pest control, cleaning and sanitising services.

In a later post, Bánh Mì Saigon said that they would continue to engage regular pest control services in line with SFA’s directions and “maintain high food hygiene [standards]”.

UK inflation: Food prices 'worryingly high' as sugar and milk soar - BBC

Image
Getty Images By Daniel Thomas Business reporter, BBC News Food prices in the UK continued to surge at the fastest rate in nearly 45 years in April, with staples like sugar, milk and pasta up sharply. The rate at which grocery prices rose slowed marginally in the year to April, but at 19.1% is close to record highs. It comes as the overall UK inflation rate fell sharply to hit single figures for the first time since last August. However, it did not decline as much as expected and the chancellor said food prices remained "worryingly high". Inflation is a measure of the cost of living and to calculate it, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) keeps track of the prices of hundreds of everyday items, known as a "basket of goods". The rate has shot up over the last 18 months, as food and energy prices have soared, leaving many household feeling squeezed. Inflation was 8.7% in the year to April - down from 10.1% in March ...

The True Danger of Food Dye - The Atlantic

Image
In 1856, an amateur chemist named William Henry Perkin mixed a batch of chemicals that he hoped, in vain, would yield the malaria drug quinine. When Perkin’s failed experiment turned purple, a hue so vivid that it could stain silks without fading, he realized he’d stumbled upon a different marvel of modernity: a commercially viable synthetic dye, the first of a new generation of chemicals that would revolutionize the way humans colored their clothes and, soon after, their food. The edible versions of the chemicals, in particular, were a revelation , offering food manufacturers ”cheap and convenient” alternatives to pigments squeezed painstakingly from natural sources such as plants, says Ai Hisano, a historian and the author of Visualizing Taste: How Business Changed the Look of What You Eat . Dyes could keep peas verdant after canning and sausages pink after cooking; they could turn too-green oranges more orange and light up corner-shop candy displays. By the Second World War, synt...
