According to the Ministry of Health (MOH), they also shared the refrigerator in the mee siam stall.
The MOH said some 154 people came down with food poisoning last week and 48 were hospitalised. Six patrons are still recovering in hospital.
Tests confirmed 13 cases to be positive for the bacteria vibrio parahaemolyticus. Among them was Madam Aminah Samijo, who died on Monday. According to MOH, the bacteria, traced to the consumption of rojak from the stall, was most likely due to cross-contamination of rojak and raw seafood ingredients harbouring the bacteria.
Three of the five food handlers at Rojak Geylang Serai have tested negative and the results of the other two are pending.
Meanwhile, hundreds turned up for the funeral of Mdm Noraini Kassim yesterday, the second person to die after eating tainted rojak at the temporary market.
Family members said they are waiting for an official report from the National Environment Agency before deciding their next course of action.
