The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has reported that imported fruit and vegetables had the most non-compliances in a recent round of tests, with 396 of 3,177 consignments failing due to issues such as microbiological, chemical, or pesticide residues exceeding limits. Despite this, over 87.5% of consignments passed. Other food categories like meat, seafood, and processed eggs had pass rates above 95%. The agency uses a risk-based approach for testing and requires importers to rectify issues with suppliers if failures occur. There were also five gastroenteritis outbreaks and 16 recalls in the first half of 2020, primarily due to allergens and chemicals. From September 2020, the SFA has set maximum limits for mercury, bromate, and mycotoxins in various foods, in line with standards from developed countries.
