Singapúr: matvælaeftirlit

In Singapore the app follows the Environmental Public Health Act, the Environmental Public Health (Food Hygiene) Regulations and the Sale of Food Act, with the Singapore Food Agency's (SFA) advice told apart from the law. The new Food Safety and Security Act 2025 is only partly in force: check the latest. Chef Hygiene keeps your daily records; it does not license you, and it is not approved by SFA or any Singapore authority.

The Singapore Food Agency (SFA), which licenses and inspects every food establishment

Every food establishment needs a licence from the Singapore Food Agency (Environmental Public Health Act, s 32), shown where customers can see it. SFA inspects. A new licensee, a new address or a new company (UEN) generally needs a new licence.

Lapses get Points Demerit System points: minor 0, major 4, serious 6 (for example pests, or a food handler not registered with SFA). 12 points or more in 12 months bring a suspension: for a restaurant or stall 2 weeks the first time, 4 weeks the second time, then the licence is cancelled. Instead of court, SFA can offer a composition fine of $200, $300 or $400. In court, a breach of the Food Hygiene Regulations can bring a fine of up to $2,000; running a food business without a licence up to $10,000 (repeat up to $20,000 and/or 3 months in prison).

SFA's SAFE framework (from 19 January 2026) gives each licensed place a grade from its track record, not from one inspection: A (more than 3 years without a major lapse), B (1 to 3 years), C (after a major lapse, like a court conviction or a suspension) or NEW (less than 1 year). A new licence, for example after a change of licensee, address or company, starts again at NEW (SFA may make exceptions case by case). Anyone can look up the grade on SFA's Track Records.
