Singapore probes alleged illegal dog meat sale

channelnewsasia.com —

The Singapore Food Agency is investigating social media allegations that dog meat was sold illegally in Singapore, following screenshots of a Vietnamese advertisement for dog meat cuts. The agency confirmed it has not approved any dog meat source. SFA stated all food imports must meet its requirements, as illegally imported products pose safety risks. Meat must come from accredited sources via licensed importers. Selling illegally imported meat carries fines up to S$50,000, jail up to two years, or both. The Facebook post with the screenshots was deleted by Friday morning. SFA emphasized food safety as a joint responsibility and urged the public to report concerns through its online feedback form.
