SFA testing seafood from Indonesia; no sign of radioactive contamination so far
The Straits Times
|October 06, 2025
Seafood from Indonesia is being sampled and tested for radioactive contamination by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), with none found tainted so far.
This is in view of new import certification requirements, imposed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for shrimp and spices from Indonesia after cases of radioactive contamination were detected earlier, the Singapore agency said in a media reply on Oct 4.
SFA said: “Based on our records, there is no import of the implicated product from Indonesia.”
