    • 🦎 A Mothership reader found a dead lizard in her Wok Hey fried rice from Tampines One while halfway through her meal.   Wok Hey said checks by its pest control vendor found "no signs of lizard activity" at the outlet, while SFA said it is investigating the incident.   ➡️ https://bit.ly/4y3cjA0   Follow us @mothershipsg     A food hygiene scare has hit popular take-out kiosk **Wok Hey** after a customer discovered a dead lizard in her fried rice. The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) and Wok Hey are currently conducting separate investigations into the incident. The full details of the discovery, the customer's response, and the company's defense are outlined below.   ### 1. The Incident: A Shocker Mid-Meal   The customer (referred to as Nana) ordered a **S$7.30 Egg Fried Rice with Chicken** from the Wok Hey outlet at **Tampines 1** mall on June 28, 2026, at around 4:51 PM.    * **The Discovery:** After taking about three mouthfuls of the rice, she poured the meal onto a plate at home and noticed an unexpected object. Upon closer inspection, she discovered a dead lizard that appeared to have been "stir-fried together with the fried rice."    * **The Description:** Nana noted that the dead lizard was "very oily," leading her to believe it may have accidentally fallen into the wok or the ingredients during the high-heat cooking process.    * **The Aftermath:** Though she did not suffer from food poisoning, she threw the rest of the food away immediately, stating that the stomach-turning experience has permanently put her off the brand.   ### 2. The Customer's Exchange with Wok Hey   Nana promptly reported the incident to Wok Hey's customer service and filed a formal report with the SFA.    * **The Voucher Offer:** Wok Hey's customer service team reached out and offered her a full refund for the S$7.30 meal, alongside **two complimentary meal vouchers** with add-ons as an apology.    * **The Refusal:** Nana explicitly rejected the vouchers, stating she had no intention of eating there again. She requested a straightforward cash refund instead.    * **A Fair Perspective:** Despite her disgust, Nana showed a level of empathy for the ground-level employees. She acknowledged to media outlets that working long 10-hour shifts in the F&B retail line is incredibly exhausting, but urged corporate management to implement stricter spot checks and staff hygiene training.   ### 3. Wok Hey's Defense: "No Signs of Lizard Activity"   Following media inquiries, a spokesperson for Wok Hey stated that the company launched an immediate internal review of the Tampines 1 outlet, which included checking its closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage. The company's primary findings include:    * **The CCTV Check:** Wok Hey claims the footage shows the meal was prepared fresh and left the kiosk fully compliant with their standard food safety and operational protocols.    * **The Pest Control Report:** The company dispatched its professional pest control vendor to audit the kiosk. The vendor identified the animal as a common house lizard but reported **absolutely zero signs of any lizard activity or infestation** inside the premises.    * **Unconfirmed Origin:** Wok Hey stressed that while they issued a refund as a gesture of goodwill, their internal data does *not* support the claim that the lizard originated from their kiosk. They have requested further details from the customer regarding how the food container was handled, transported, and stored between the time it left the counter and when it was consumed.   ### 4. SFA Slips In to Investigate The **Singapore Food Agency (SFA)** has confirmed it is officially looking into the matter. SFA stated that it may engage the customer to gather further evidence. The agency reminded the public that if sufficient proof of negligence or contamination is established, it **will not hesitate to take strict enforcement action** against the operator. Under Singapore law, food operators found guilty of failing to adhere to proper food hygiene and preparation metrics can face heavy fines, demerit points, or temporary license suspensions.
