NTUC FairPrice is investigating a viral videos showing plastic-looking and sticky grass jelly that the uploader claims he purchased from the supermarket chain.

On May 12, Facebook user Sng Hock Huat uploaded a video of a packet of Tan Soon Mui grass jelly, which he claims he bought at a FairPrice outlet, that had bad texture and colour.

The video was shared widely on social media and WhatsApp, with many Stompers alerting Stomp to the clip.

In the clip, Sng says that the contents of the packet feel more like plastic than grass jelly.

"It is sticky as well. How to eat this? Chin chow is not like this," says Sng.
