Following the SFAโ€™s recent approval of 16 insect species for human consumption, there has been a notable surge in industry interest surrounding the regulations, safety standards, and best practices that accompany this innovative development. To address this growing curiosity, SIFST organized a professional talk on 29th August 2024 at Temasek Polytechnic.

The event featured Mr. Herman Teo, Deputy Director of the Risk Management and Surveillance Department at SFA, who delivered an insightful presentation titled "Singaporeโ€™s Regulatory Approach to Insects for Human Consumption and Animal Feed."

Mr. Herman Teo provided a thorough overview of the regulatory framework that governs the use of insects in both food and feed within Singapore. He offered detailed insights into the stringent safety standards required to ensure the quality and safety of insect-based products, emphasizing the meticulous processes and criteria necessary for regulatory compliance.

As a unique addition to the session, participants were also given the opportunity to taste a specially crafted cricket bun, providing a practical experience of how insects can be creatively incorporated into food products.

From August 10th to 17th, 2024, SIFST organized a technical tour to Chongqing, China, under the theme "Food Tech Revolution: A Business Education Journey." This tour provided an extraordinary opportunity to explore the latest advancements in high-tech food manufacturing and innovation.

During the week-long tour, participants had the chance to visit some of Chongqing's leading food technology companies, gaining first-hand insights into cutting-edge practices and developments. In addition, we engaged in insightful roundtable discussions with local government officials and industry leaders, exploring potential partnerships that could significantly benefit Singapore's food industry. This experience offered participants a comprehensive view of the rapidly evolving landscape of food technology and the future possibilities for growth and collaboration.

SIFST would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all the participants for their enthusiastic support and active engagement throughout the tour. Your involvement was instrumental in making this journey a success.
