A Singaporean Indian, whose food outlet was linked to cases of food poisoning that left two women dead last year, will be charged in court for selling items unfit for human consumption.
Sheik Allaudin Mohideen, 70, who operated the 'Indian Rojak', a food outlet selling deep-fried salad, would also not be allowed to handle food for sale anymore.
The food poisonings linked to Sheik's outlet were one of the worst cases in Singapore in recent years, officials said.
The man will be charged in court next month in food poisoning cases that left two women dead and 150 sick in April last year.
The Attorney-General's Chambers and the National Environment Agency said Mohideen's case will be heard on May 11. He faces charges for selling food unfit for human consumption, failing to keep his work place and fridge clean.
Health officers investigating Sheikh's food outlet at a local food court found the place cockroach-infested, bacteria originating from faeces and human skin as well as swabs with traces of salmonella, which is commonly associated with food poisoning.
Sheik's wife and two sons would be allowed to operate the food outlet after they have passed a basic food hygiene course though he himself would not be allowed to handle food for sale anymore.
