MSE proposes new bill to safeguard food security

It aims to consolidate and update existing food-related legislation.

The Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) introduced the Food Safety and Security Bill (FSSB) for its first reading in Parliament on 13 Nov.

The bill aims to consolidate and update existing food-related legislation, strengthen Singapore’s food safety framework to enhance consumer protection and public health, and address emerging challenges in safeguarding food security.

Additionally, the FSSB will empower the Ministry of Health to promote better public health outcomes through improved diet and nutrition.

The bill's provisions have been shaped through extensive consultations with industry stakeholders since August 2023.

Public consultations were also conducted via REACH in phases between March and September 2024.

The government also said it has committed to further engaging the industry before implementing any new requirements under the FSSB.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
