Mos Burger staff filmed handling food with bare hands

An employee who was caught on camera handling and preparing food without gloves on has been given a stern warning and sent for a refreshing trainer, Mos Burger told Stomp.

Stomp contributor Kelvin said he visited the fast food restaurant's Tai Seng outlet on Teusday (Jan 26), at around 3pm, for a takeaway order.

He was concerned when he saw an employee handling his food without any gloves on.

In a video taken by Kelvin, the employee can be seen preparing a burger and packing it with his bare hands.

Kelvin shared: "I didn't confront the staff but threw my food away.

"I subsequently gave feedback to Mos Burger and they apologised."

In response to a Stomp query, a spokesman for Mos Burger said: "Thank you for informing us about this incident for our immediate attention and actions.
