FORMATION OF THE SINGAPORE FOOD AGENCY AND THE ANIMAL & VETERINARY SERVICE

Please note that the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) will be formed on 1 April 2019. The SFA will replace the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) to oversee Singapore’s food safety and security. Concurrently, all non-food plant and animal related functions of AVA will be transferred to the National Parks Board (NParks). NParks will be the lead agency for animal and wildlife management, as well as animal and plant health.

The SFA will serve as the single point of contact for public feedback on food-related issues, and strengthen management of foodborne disease outbreaks to protect public health. The SFA will also facilitate more business-friendly regulations with oversight of all food safety policies and consolidation of food laboratory capabilities to deepen competencies in food diagnostics, and research and development in food safety. A new Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) under NParks will be the main touch-point on animal health and animal-related issues for pet owners and businesses, as well as animal welfare groups.
