Singapore intends to launch a voluntary scheme on cereal products for infants and young children

foodmate 2023-01-05

On 22 December 2022, Singapore issued Circular G/SPS/N/SGP/81 through the WTO, and the Singapore Food Authority (SFA) announced a new pre-import control measure, the Voluntary Scheme for Infant Cereal Products.

 
According to the notification, importers who meet the import conditions of the voluntary scheme can register their suppliers with the SFA and are exempt from the existing import control measures for each shipment of aflatoxin B1 testing. For importers who do not wish to participate in voluntary schemes, existing pre-import controls still apply.
 
In Singapore's current import control rules, infant cereal products are regulated as high-risk products, and the control requirements include that the relevant manufacturer needs to be properly supervised by the food authority of the exporting country or region or has an SFA acceptable quality assurance program, and the need to provide documentary proof that the imported product was produced under sanitary conditions of the regulated enterprise.
