Why do we not see 'antibiotic-free' food products in Singapore?

Updated by SFA
SFA does not support claims regarding the absence of hormones and antibiotics in food. Claims indicating that animals for food use were 'raised without the use of antibiotics' on prepacked food products are permitted, provided the production method/process is endorsed and verified with certifications issued by the Competent Authority. For details, see Labelling Requirements for Food.
