Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Nutritional Value of Migrant Workers' Food by Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment

Question:

To ask the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) whether the nutritional value of food prepared is a criteria for the licensing of a food caterer for workers living in a dormitory; and (b) if not, whether the Ministry will consider working with the Ministry of Manpower to look into incorporating requirements on nutritional value for the catered food of workers in dormitories.

Answer:

1 The objective of licensing food businesses, including food caterers, is to ensure food safety to safeguard public health. The nutritional value of catered food is not a licensing consideration and the Singapore Food Agency has no plans to incorporate such requirements.
