Organic Regulations and/or Standards
Singapore Standard SS 632:2017 for Organic Primary Produce for domestic indoor, peri-urban, and urban farming, as well as distribution and trade of organic produce.  These standards were issued by SSC and Enterprise Singapore. Grains, mushrooms, fresh vegetables, fresh herbs, and fresh fruits are included in the standard.  Also post-harvest practices, import, packing, and re-packing, storage, transport, and labelling. Standard was amended in May 2019. 

Singapore requires that all other products sold as organic are certified to standards that comply with the Codex Guidelines for the Production, Processing, Labelling and Marketing of Organically Produced Foods

SFA does periodic checks and investigations of food products labeled as organic and enforces mislabeling under section 17 of the Sale of Food Act.
Imported Products

In Singapore, organic foods are mostly imported from Australia, the European Union (EU), Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Japan, Thailand, United Kingdom, and the United States. Most organic products are certified by to an international standard by accredited certifying bodies. The following are international standards from which Singapore allows certification: Australia, Canada, European Union, Japan, Switzerland, Thailand, United States.

Traders who sell food products bearing claims such as “organic” or “organically produced” or similar claims must be able to show proof that the food product has indeed been organically produced. Proof comes in the form of a valid organic certificate for the food product issued by the duly constituted certifying body for organic food certification. The document is to be submitted SFA only upon request.
