What GM foods can be sold in Singapore?
Only GM foods that have been assessed to be safe can be sold in Singapore.
Genetically modified (GM) food developers seeking to use GM food in Singapore are required to submit safety information on their GM food for assessment by Singapore’s Genetic Modification Advisory Committee (GMAC) and the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).
These assessments are conducted based on principles set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC). The CAC is an international standards-setting body, established by the Food and Agriculture Organisation and the World Health Organisation (WHO).
