Foreword
Singapore’s food manufacturing industry
has come a long way from its humble
beginnings. Today, it counts among its
accolades modern processing technologies
and a strong reputation for food safety and
quality. These have enabled Singaporean
food manufacturers to successfully sell their
products not only in our domestic market but
also to far flung corners around the world.
As the lead government agency for
local food manufacturing companies,
SPRING Singapore works closely with
partner agencies to further enhance the
performance of the food manufacturing
sector. These include close collaborations
with key stakeholders such as the
Singapore Food Manufacturers’ Association
(SFMA), Singapore Manufacturers’ Federation
(SMa), Singapore Malay Chamber of
Commerce and Industry (SMCCI) and Majlis
Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS), the sole
custodian of Halal certification in Singapore,
to drive industry growth.
As the enterprise development agency for
growing innovative companies and fostering
a competitive SME sector, SPRING provides a
host of capability development programmes
to give SMEs a leg up in business. SMEs
in the food manufacturing industry are
encouraged to use these programmes
to upgrade their capabilities in terms of
technology and innovation, branding,
management development and access to
markets. Furthermore, the Food Innovation
and Resource Centre (FIRC) was set up
together with Singapore Polytechnic to
help SMEs bring innovative food concepts
to reality by using the most appropriate
technologies.
This food manufacturing directory was
created to showcase the capabilities of
local enterprises in the food industry.
The companies listed serve as a good
representation of the diverse food
manufacturing sub-sectors in Singapore,
adding vibrancy to the range of products
and services available.
We invite industry players from around the
world to leverage on Singapore’s strong
reputation as a trusted hub and commitment
to food safety to build strategic alliances that
will seed new product ideas and optimise
resources to improve productivity.
We look forward to taking the industry to
even higher levels of excellence, where our
companies develop and deliver innovative,
high value-added products and services for
the global marketplace.

Industry Overview
Singapore’s food industry has been a
significant component of our growing
economy. Leveraging on our strategic
location, world-class infrastructure and
connectivity, skilled manpower and
reputation for high quality standards, the
country is well positioned to become the
next food hub, playing host to numerous
international enterprises.
The food manufacturing industry is made
up of some 750 companies, dominated
by mainly small and medium enterprises.
These companies span 17 sub-sectors,
ranging from flavours, sauces, ready meals,
noodles, sausage making to confectionery,
chocolates and beverages. Despite their
size, Singapore’s food manufacturers are
not confined to the domestic market. They
are keen to venture overseas and many
have gained footholds in various parts of
the world from traditional markets in the
Asean region and emerging global markets
such as the Middle East and Russia.
In 2008, the industry output and value-
added amounted to S$7 billion and S$1.5
billion respectively. Singapore’s total food
exports reached S$7.5 billion in 2009.
The global demand for good quality food
that is safe for consumption has helped
to increase exports of made-in-Singapore
food products.
With food science and technological
innovation gaining importance in the
manufacturing value chain, Singapore
food manufacturers are quick to invest in
R&D to cater to a wider consumer base,
improve packaging and increase product
shelf life. Industry players also take
pride in their commitment to strict food
safety standards — many are certified to
international food safety standards such
as the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control
Points (HACCP), ISO 22000 and BRC —
which help them gain a competitive edge
in the global arena. Increasingly, many are
also exploring certification to SS 540, a
Singapore Standard on Business Continuity
Management to help businesses prepare
for crises.

 About AVA’s Food Safety Partnership Scheme
About AVA’s Food Safety
Partnership Scheme
The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA)
is responsible for ensuring a resilient supply
of safe food. AVA also ensures the health of
animals and plants, safeguards the welfare of
animals and facilitates agri-trade for Singapore.
Food safety is a shared responsibility by the
government, the food industry and consumers.
AVA introduced the Food Safety Partnership
Scheme in 2003 to encourage the food industry
to set higher standards in food safety assurance
and take a more proactive role in educating the
public on food safety.
The scheme recognises exemplary food
manufacturers and importers, supermarket
operators and food retailers, who have
consistently maintained high standards of food
safety and commited themselves to food safety
consumer education. It also provides a visible
way to show a company’s commitment to the
well-being of Singaporeans and assure the public
of the safety of their products. Food Safety
Partners are also recognised as role models for
other members in the food industry. As a Food
Safety Partner, companies can use the food
safety logo on their publicity materials as well
as on their product packaging. A company’s
status as a Food Safety Partner will be reviewed
every two years.

About Healthier Choice Symbol Programme
Healthier Choice Symbol Nutrition
Labelling Programme administered by
Health Promotion Board, Singapore
The Healthier Choice Symbol (HCS) on packaged
food products indicates that they are healthier
options as compared to products within the
same food category, and this helps consumers
to make informed food choices when grocery
shopping.
Products carrying the HCS symbol are generally
lower in total fat, saturated fat, sodium and
sugar. Some are also higher in dietary fibre,
calcium and whole-grains as compared to similar
products within the same food category. Each
food category has a separate set of nutritional
criteria to adhere to.
Seven in ten Singaporeans were found to be
aware of the HCS and 69% had used this symbol
to assist them in making healthier food choices.
Manufacturers looking for an added advantage
for their product can consider carrying the HCS.
To date, there are guidelines covering over 70
food categories. To find out if your product is
eligible for the HCS, you may download the
updated nutrition guidelines from the link below.
You can also obtain information on application
procedures, required supporting documents,
regulations and guidance on labelling and
marketing of HCS products, and view the list of
products currently carrying the HCS.

own house brands, namely Hosen (Canned

affluent Singaporean consumers. In pursuit of this
aspiration, the Hosen brand was born in 1987.
The company has since grown to become a
leading importer, exporter and distributor in 30
countries around the world. The brand recently
underwent a revamp of its logo, packaging

younger, more vibrant and appealing outlook.
Hosen also expanded its canned food range
to include products such as aloe vera cubes in
various juices and Hosen Select pasta sauces.
Hosen is actively showcased in trade shows,
consumer fairs and supermarket events. These
events give the brand the opportunity to allow
customers to experience products with the
“Freshly Picked and Packed” difference. The
company believes in constant progression and
growth, and aims to develop about five new
products annually.
