Regulatory agencies
In Singapore, the Singapore Food Authority (hereinafter referred to as SFA) under the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources has integrated the previous Agri-Food and Veterinary Administration under the Ministry of National Development, the National Environment Agency under the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, and relevant food supervision under the Ministry of Health and the Department of Health Sciences.

.
Therefore, the requirements of the ionizing radiation sources permitted in Singapore, the types of foods permitted to be irradiated, and the purpose of irradiation should all comply with the relevant regulations of CAC
.
2.
1 Purpose of irradiation
The purpose of irradiation is to control food-borne pathogens, reduce microbial pollution and pests, inhibit root crops from germinating, and extend the shelf life of perishable products
.
2.
2 Allowed sources of ionizing radiation
(A) Gamma rays of radionuclide 60Co or 137Cs;
(B) X-rays with an energy level less than or equal to 5 MeV produced by a mechanical source;
(C) An electron beam with an energy level less than or equal to 10 MeV produced by a mechanical source
.
2.
3 Types of irradiated food allowed
The International Food Irradiation Advisory Group (ICGFI) recommends 7 major countries including beans, grains and their products, dried fruits and preserved fruits, cooked livestock and poultry meat, frozen packaged livestock and poultry meat, spices, fresh fruits and vegetables and aquatic products.

Once the label is used, it will be applied to the food name Proximity
.
(B) If the ingredients used in the food have been irradiated, they should be declared in the ingredient list
.
(C) If irradiated raw materials are used to prepare a single ingredient, the product label should include a statement explaining the handling
.
3.
