(Video) Rat spotted running across sushi display at Japanese supermarket chain in Tuen Mun

A rat was allegedly spotted running across sushi display chillers at a Don Don Donki branch in Tuen Mun Town Plaza, according to videos shared online on Thursday (Feb 12), raising public concern over food hygiene.

A social media user uploaded two video clips showing a rat moving inside a chilled sushi display chiller, running across at least 10 boxes of sushi and jumping between partitions. In another clip, the rat was seen climbing onto the top of a second sushi display chiller and moving across promotional signage before disappearing from view.

The uploader said the footage was genuine and not AI-generated, adding that nearby shoppers were startled.

The videos quickly drew attention online, with some netizens expressing concern about hygiene conditions and urging authorities to investigate.

Sing Tao Headline, the sister publication of The Standard, has sought comment from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and Don Don Donki.
