Singaporean officials recently provided an update on the proposed national Food Safety and Security Bill, which was first introduced in 2021 and aims to provide greater clarity on the regulation of novel food innovations, such as cultured meat, while preventing foodborne illness.
The updates were revealed during a keynote speech presented by Singapore’s Trade and Industry Minister Alvin Tam on October 31, 2023 at the Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Innovation Summit, as well as in a speech by the Singapore Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, Grace Fu, at the opening of the country’s new National Center for Food Science on October 27, 2023.
