Jar of mouldy kaya in Woodlands supermarket found to be tampered with: FairPrice
At least two jars of FairPrice house brand kaya were found to be mouldy at the supermarket in 888 Plaza in Woodlands.
A Stomper shared photos of the tainted products on the shelf on Aug 1. One was the No Added Sugar Nonya Kaya. The other was the Hainanese Kaya With Honey.
"After a few days, they were still there on the shelf. Expiry is next year," said the Stomper.
On the lid of one of the jars, it said that the kaya was "best before" April 7, 2026.
In response to a Stomp query, a FairPrice Group spokesperson said: "We would like to reassure our valued customers that we take food safety and hygiene issues very seriously.
"Immediately upon learning about the situation, our staff promptly disposed of the affected product and disinfected the area thoroughly. Upon investigation, it was found that the bottle had been tampered with.
"Our team also conducted checks on the remaining stocks of the same product and confirmed that all are in good condition."
The spokesperson added: "We remain committed to upholding high standards of food safety and quality, and we thank our customers for their continued trust and understanding."
