1. It is a contagious disease among pigs but it cannot be transmitted to humans. To mitigate the risk of incursion, SFA requires sources exporting raw pork to Singapore to be free from ASF and has suspended pork and pork product import from affected sources.
2. ASF can be inactivated with sufficient heat treatment so sufficiently heat-treated processed pork from approved establishments is allowed for import into Singapore.
So you don’t have to worry about ASF in canned pork and pork products in Singapore! SFA will continue to be vigilant to ensure and secure a supply of safe food for Singapore.
