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.
Disruptions in Singapore’s food supply can happen from time to time. However, there are ways for the industry to stay ready and minimise the impact of such disruptions to our food supply – and SFA works with the industry to do just that.
To ensure food security, the Singapore Food Agency adopts the strategy of “three food baskets”, the foremost being the diversification of food sources. It also boosts local food production through funding for agriculture research and technology adoption, creative planning of farm spaces, and efforts to drum up community support for local farmers.
