SINGAPORE: The Singapore Food Agency( SFA ) announced on Friday, September 8, that Turkey has been approved as a new nation for exporting chicken eggs to Singapore. & nbsp,
According to SFA,” this brings the number of nations and regions authorized to import bird shell hens to Singapore to 19, away from 12 in 2019.” & nbsp,
No country may be spared from uncertainties in the global food supply, according to SFA, as Singapore continues to improve its food safety. & nbsp,
