Mass Food Poisoning Incident Hits TikTok's Singapore HQ, Dozens Hospitalized



Dozens of staff at ByteDance's Singapore office, the parent company of TikTok, were hospitalized following a food poisoning outbreak.

Sixty employees experienced symptoms of gastroenteritis on Tuesday, with fifty-seven treated in the hospital.

ByteDance is investigating the incident alongside health and food safety officials.

The office uses third-party caterers for food, as no food is prepared on-site.

Seventeen ambulances were dispatched to the scene.

ByteDance has committed to supporting affected employees and cooperating with authorities.

The Singapore Food Agency emphasized the need for food operators to follow strict safety practices.

ByteDance, founded in 2012, is known for its popular apps Douyin and TikTok, with the latter having over a billion active users worldwide.
