Our History

We were formed as a statutory board under the former Ministry of Environment and Water Resources on 1 April 2019 to oversee food safety and food security in Singapore.

The SFA brings together food-related functions previously managed by the former Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore, the National Environment Agency and the Health Sciences Authority.

Our Logo

The SFA logo comprises minimalistic fish and leaf shapes that entwine together. Its design communicates the progressiveness and authoritativeness of the SFA. The use of an interlocking element between the two shapes represents the collaboration and partnership between SFA and various entities.
