Why are foods produced from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) not labelled in Singapore?

Updated by SFA
Food products for sale in Singapore can be voluntarily labelled as “GM” or “non-GM”. All information presented must be factual and must not mislead consumers. There is no international consensus on the mandatory labelling of GM food and food containing GM ingredients, or the threshold level of genetic material in a food product that requires labelling. In countries where GM labelling is mandatory, its primary objective is to enable consumers to make informed food choices. SFA and GMAC keep abreast of global discussions on GM food to ensure that rules and regulations are up to date with best practices and international frameworks.
