Singapore: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
Singapore does not have any domestic commercial production of plant biotechnology. The Singapore Food Agency website lists 106 genetically engineered (GE) crops 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 the Singapore Food Agency (SFA). The assessments are based on Codex principles.
