Centre for Food Safety Releases September Food Safety Report
Start here
The Centre for Food Safety released last month's food safety report on 30 October 2026. Of about 7,000 food samples, all passed testing except 4 unsatisfactory samples announced earlier, giving an overall pass rate of 99.9 per cent. The 4 unsatisfactory samples were luffa and eggs imported from Vietnam with excessive pesticide residues, ready-to-eat raw oysters with excessive E. coli, and Hainanese chicken rice in which Salmonella was detected. The centre has ordered traders to stop selling the products and is tracing their sources. In response to Japan's discharge of nuclear-contaminated water, the centre also continues to strengthen testing of food imported from Japan.
