Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the stall was found to be dirty, and one of the workers was found to have not received an anti-typhoid shot. A compound notice was also issued against one of the workers.

Noor Hisham said the two-week closure was to enable cleaning works to be carried out, as well as to improve the level of food safety.

A warning notice from Putrajaya Corporation was also issued to the trader on Thursday after a video clip went viral on social media showing a customer claiming that she found worms in a dish of noodles with cuttlefish she bought for RM30 at the Putrajaya Ramadan bazaar.

Noor Hisham said the stall operator also runs an eatery in Cyberjaya where raw ingredients are stored and cooked before being taken to the bazaar. The health ministry would conduct an inspection to obtain further information on food safety at the premises.

The ministry was also investigating a food producer after a complaint of a clump of hair being found in a batch of kuih limas sold in Teluk Intan.

On Thursday, Perak state executive councillor Akmal Kamarudin said that a sample of the kuih limas will be sent for analysis.

Noor Hisham said a total of 4,362 Ramadan bazaar stalls have been inspected across the country and 77 compound notices totalling RM38,500 were issued.
