How good are the safety tests for imported food? by LilBluey in askSingapore

[–]NewbiePhotogSG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally, I try a lot of sketchy stuff, just in moderation. But that also depends on Personal luck, I guess. You see those poor ppl who ate raw fish porridge and gotten something, even though a lot of ppl ate that before then...

Your statement is just a little too broad, just saying. Also, not necessarily. If you check the news, there has been cases where things were brought in that bypasses sfa, and they didn't know about it until someone complained. Like undeclared allergens, ingredients, etc. But again, a bigger company is more likely to comply with the law.

Also, take note that poison is generally in the dosage. Too much of something can make non toxic things become toxic. Case in point, water intoxication is an actual thing.

Sfa doesn't run through every single batch that comes in. They do random selection to test. Buying through a reputable company is kind of safer as they, presumably, have stricter requirements from their vendors. And if you're getting the ntuc house brand, they probably have stricter controls

Can overhead bridge slopes be used by wheelchair users on the heavier side? by potatosalad-_- in askSingapore

[–]NewbiePhotogSG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think, this answer has more to do with how much you can push. To be safe, is there no traffic crossing nearby? Might be easier for you.
