A food handler was spotted preparing bread using their bare hands at Tuantuan Puanpuan coffeeshop located at Woodlands MRT station.
A post was shared on the Complaint Singapore Facebook page on Sept 28, where a netizen wrote: "Food handler working completely bare-handed.
"Worse of all, using bare fingers to scoop and spread butter directly on the bread! Yucks! Very hands-on service indeed... giving this stall a Michelin star for 'artisanal' technique!"
A video in the post shows the staff member holding white bread with their left hand without gloves, while scooping what looks to be jam using a spoon on their right hand to spread to the bread.
Placing the spoon down, they use their right index finger to dig into butter and wiggle their finger directly onto the bread to spread it.
They then fold the bread in half, placing it in the plastic bag while pressing it down with their palms, repeating the same action a few more times.
Netizens were disgusted by the action, with some of them suggesting the netizen lodge a complaint with the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).
One of them wrote: "I won't spread (butter on) the bread using my own fingers, let alone doing it for other people to eat."
"I expect everyone to maintain the same hygiene standards, especially when we remind others about cleanliness," another netizen commented.
In response to AsiaOne's queries, SFA said they are looking into the matter and will not hesitate to take enforcement action if sufficient evidence has been obtained.
As part of the enquiry and gathering of evidence, they may engage the feedback provider for more details.
"Food safety is a joint responsibility. While SFA puts in place and enforces the regulatory measures, food operators must play their part by adhering to good food hygiene and preparation practices. Food operators should also ensure their premises are clean and well-maintained," they added.
Members of the public who have concerns about food safety practices by food operators should report to SFA via the online feedback form at www.sfa.gov.sg/feedback .

有人在兀兰地铁站附近的团团Puanpuan咖啡店看到一名食品处理人员徒手制作面包。
9 月 28 日，新加坡投诉 Facebook 页面上分享了一则帖子，其中一位网友写道：“食品处理员完全赤手工作。
“更糟糕的是，他们竟然用手指直接把黄油抹在面包上！真恶心！这服务也太‘亲力亲为’了吧……这家摊位要是真有‘手工’技艺，绝对能得米其林星！”
帖子中的视频显示，一名工作人员左手拿着白面包，没戴手套，右手用勺子舀起看起来像是果酱的东西涂抹在面包上。
他们放下勺子，用右手食指挖起黄油，然后直接用手指在面包上涂抹。
然后他们将面包对折，放入塑料袋中，同时用手掌按压，重复同样的动作几次。
网友们对这一行为感到愤慨，一些网友建议该网友向新加坡食品局（SFA）投诉。
其中一人写道：“我连用手指抹黄油都不会，更别说抹在别人吃的面包上了。”
“我希望大家都能保持同样的卫生标准，尤其是在我们提醒别人注意清洁卫生的时候，”另一位网友评论道。
针对AsiaOne的询问，新加坡足协表示，他们正在调查此事，如果获得足够的证据，将毫不犹豫地采取执法行动。
作为调查和收集证据的一部分，他们可能会联系反馈提供者以获取更多详细信息。
“食品安全是每个人的共同责任。虽然新加坡食品局负责制定和执行监管措施，但食品经营者也必须尽到自己的责任，遵守良好的食品卫生和制备规范。食品经营者还应确保其经营场所清洁卫生，”他们补充道。
公众如对食品经营者的食品安全做法有任何疑虑，应通过新加坡食品局网站 www.sfa.gov.sg/feedback 上的在线反馈表进行报告。
