Man got Hospitalized after eating Sashimi at Sushi Express
SINGAPORE – A local Singaporean went to Sushi Express located at Lida Square (Seletar Mall) to had his meal. He had over 20 pieces of Sashimi Sushi in the food chain.
Shortly after, he found bloodstains on some of the plate of sashimi. Immediately, he then return them back on the conveyor belt untouched. Despite that, he had eaten over 20 pieces of raw fish.
Soon after, he started to have fever as his body temperature rise over 40 degrees. Eventually he was hospitalized. He even mentioned that he shivered until his lip turns purple. The doctor then confirmed that he is hospitalized due to food poisoning. He is lucky to escape the streptococcal infection which can lead to death if not properly treated.
He also advise everyone to avoid eating cold food, particularly raw fishes to prevent such problem.

It’s not the fish fault it’s the restaurant’s fault , I run a Japanese buffet business I have customers eating loads of sashimi no complains of that sort . NOT all restaurants that sell raw fish have this issue thank you
Was at sushi express at seletar mall awhile ago. Saw the staff pick up plastic cover from the floor and just put back onto the plate with food on the conveyor belt. Moreover the store was closing so the staff rushing ma so while the belt still running she spray some cleaning agent while cleaning stuff before the store closes, i assure that some of the mist landed on da food. Couple beside me also saw, then they immediately stop eating and pay up followed by me.
Why return the plate to the belt? Why not take a pic and inform the staff?
why would he place the plate with blood stains back onto the conveyor belt? he shld have informed the shop staff.. why would you leave it for the others?

更新】国家环境局与卫生部5日发表联合文告表示，寿司店在食物卫生上没有问题。
据卫生部了解，男子到医院检查后，证实没有感染B族链球菌，病人目前已出院，健康良好。
环境局也针对这起事件展开调查，并在星期六（2日）到该家寿司店进行检查，当局并没有发现寿司店在食物卫生上有任何疏失。当局也收集了生鱼片的样本以进行检验。
Everyone’s body is unique and has a different tolerance level to various foods and consumption intake. If there is no hygiene lapse and certified by NEA, I will still continue to dine in their restaurants.
I think it’s only seletar mall sushi express have this problem. Tampines sushi express is rather okay… The manager is really rude (money minded) trying to rush and probably hit quota.
The plastic container is really dirty, just becareful. Don’t fine at sushi express anymore to be safe!!!
I think the problem is not the fish but the preparation. Some had blood on them… I believe the fish got tainted in the kitchen during prep time
The written English… I am speechless!
Blood stain but put back. Nice. Well it’s unfortunate, raw food do carry such risk.
It is so easily to always put the blame on the raw fish or the restaurant BUT eating 20 pcs or more raw fish meat or even if it’s half cooked beef etc. Isn’t that too much of a “good thing” at one go?
Not being insensitive here but as consumers we do need to be careful and responsible as to how we eat and the amount of “whacking” too much at one go of just any one type of dish isn’t it?
Hey Admin, did you plagiarise the salmon sushi picture from someone else’s album?
I am sad on the fact that you are not dead.
