Singapore: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

Singapore does not have any domestic commercial production of plant biotechnology. The Singapore Food Agency provides a link in its website that lists a total of 64 genetically engineered (GE) crops that have been approved for use as food for direct consumption, ingredients, and further processing into ingredients for other food in the country. GE foods sold in Singapore must undergo a rigorous safety assessment by the Genetic Modification Advisory Committee (GMAC) and Singapore Food Agency (SFA). The assessments are based on Codex principles.
