Food can be contaminated anywhere along the supply chain, from the time it is produced to the time it is consumed. When certain food products are found to be unsafe for consumption, together with the industry, Singapore is ready to act.

Pre-licensing inspections are carried out to ensure food retail establishments are properly designed and equipped to prepare food safely before they can start operations. To speed up the process of inspecting about 4,000 food retail establishments annually, SFA is tapping on technology to help businesses start operations sooner.

All day and every day, officers from the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) fan out across the island as they work to ensure and secure a supply of safe food for Singapore.

In order to ensure a resilient supply of safe food, we need to continuously diversify our food sources. This includes exploring new potential sources, and Thailand is one such country that Singapore can import more food from.
