Singapore is renowned for its stringent food safety standards and comprehensive regulatory framework. Therefore, opening a food factory in Singapore requires compliance with a series of stringent regulations and procedures. Setting up a food factory involves not only company registration but also various aspects, such as factory design, food safety standards, environmental protection, and employee health. Below are the key procedures and requirements for opening a food factory to help businesses smoothly complete the compliance process and commence operations.
1. Company Registration and Preliminary Preparations
Company Registration
To open a food factory in Singapore, you first need to register a legal company. Company registration must be done with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). We recommend registering as a Private Limited Company (PLC), as this structure is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and offers tax benefits and limited liability. (We provide company registration services in Singapore; please contact your advisor for details.)
Determine the Factory Location
The factory site selection must comply with Singapore's land use regulations and be located in a suitable industrial zone. Many food factories choose to be located within a food industrial park to access comprehensive food industry facilities and convenient logistics support.
Applying for Permits from Relevant Authorities: Food factories in Singapore must obtain approvals from multiple authorities, including the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), the National Environment Agency (NEA), and the Building and Construction Authority (BCA). These approvals ensure compliance with food production, hygiene, and construction standards.
Applying for a Food Production License
Submitting a Food Production License Application
The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) is responsible for approving food production licenses. Companies must submit their food production license applications through the SFA's online application system and provide detailed information such as a factory layout, equipment list, and production process flow.
Designing a Hygiene-Friendly Factory Layout
The factory layout must meet food hygiene standards, including clear separation between raw material storage, processing, packaging, and finished product storage areas to prevent cross-contamination. Flooring, walls, and ceiling materials in food factories must be easy to clean, corrosion-resistant, and pest-resistant.
Provide a Food Safety Plan
According to Singapore regulations, food factories must establish a food safety management system (such as a HACCP system) and submit relevant documentation to ensure that food contamination is effectively prevented during the production process. This food safety plan should cover aspects such as raw material procurement, production processes, equipment maintenance, and employee hygiene management.
Employee Training and Hygiene Management
All food factory employees must receive basic food safety and hygiene training to understand the hygienic requirements of food processing. Food production license applications must include employee hygiene training records to ensure that daily factory operations meet hygiene standards.
Building and Facility Approvals
Apply for building approval from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA).
If a factory building requires renovation or expansion, a building permit must be obtained from the BCA. Renovation or expansion works must comply with building safety standards and be approved before the project commences.
Drainage and Wastewater Management
Food factories must consider drainage and wastewater management plans during construction or renovation and apply for relevant permits from the National Environment Agency (NEA). Drainage systems must comply with Singapore's environmental regulations and ensure that wastewater is treated before discharge.
Ventilation and Cooling Facilities
Food factories must install standard ventilation systems to prevent odor and heat buildup. Certain processed food production areas (such as frozen foods) also require cooling equipment to ensure temperatures meet food safety requirements.
IV. Environmental and Hygiene Requirements
Pest Control
Food factories must regularly conduct pest control to ensure that production areas are free of pests. Factories must develop a pest control plan and employ a professional pest control company for regular inspections and extermination services.
Waste Management
Food factories must establish waste management procedures to ensure that waste generated during production is handled in accordance with regulations. In particular, organic waste and packaging materials must be recycled or disposed of in accordance with Singapore's environmental protection requirements.
Equipment Cleaning and Sanitization
Food processing equipment must be regularly cleaned and disinfected to prevent microbial contamination. Food factories must maintain a cleaning schedule to ensure that all equipment and processing areas meet food safety standards.
Summary
Opening a food factory in Singapore requires multiple approvals and compliance with food safety, hygiene, and environmental requirements. The process includes company registration, factory design, equipment installation, food production license application, and multiple facility approvals. Food factories must establish a food safety management system and ensure all employees receive food hygiene training. After obtaining a license, food factories must undergo regular inspections and license renewals to ensure ongoing compliance.
