The Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said that they are investigating the cases.
Of the 17, four were hospitalised, and one person has since been discharged. The three other patients are in stable condition, according to ST.
The rest received outpatient treatment, or self-medicated, or recovered without treatment.

Burger & Lobster, which was founded in the U.K., has two outlets in Singapore.
It arrived on our shores in May 2019, with Jewel Changi Airport being the first outlet.
The second outlet is at the Raffles Hotel.
At time of writing, its reservation webpage for the Jewel Changi Airport outlet stated that the restaurant is closed due to "technical issues."
