Singapore has “no objections” to the use of Triton’s non-GMO algae as a food ingredient.
November 6, 2019 – San Diego-based Triton Algae Innovations has revealed that following a rigorous internal review, the top food regulatory entity in Singapore (the Singapore Food Agency, or SFA) has issued a coveted “no objections” letter, which authorizes the use of Triton’s highly nutritious, non-GMO dried algae ingredient in consumer food products. Triton had been in discussions with SFA staff for almost a year, after an initial meeting at a conference in Singapore in November 2018.
“Triton is very excited and honored by this designation,” said Xun Wang, president and CEO of Triton. “Singapore is an economic and technology leader not just in Asia but world-wide, particularly in the future food and agriculture space, and so to receive the necessary approvals to be able to sell into this market is a considerable achievement. We are grateful both to have achieved this status, and also to now have the opportunity to make our healthy ingredient available to Singaporean consumers, for whom good nutrition is a high priority.”
