Working in Singapore’s vibrant F&B industry offers exciting opportunities — from hawker centres and cafés to restaurants and catering businesses.
But while many start as kitchen assistants or food handlers, few realise how quickly they can move up the ladder with the right training.
Food hygiene in Singapore isn’t just about ticking boxes for the Singapore Food Agency (SFA). It’s about protecting your customers, safeguarding your brand, and keeping your restaurant profitable. Yet, even established F&B outlets — from hawker stalls to fine dining restaurants — continue to make avoidable hygiene mistakes.
Singapore’s food and beverage (F&B) sector is a powerhouse — from bustling hawker centres to Michelin-starred restaurants, cafés, bars, and catering businesses. Behind the scenes, one thing keeps this industry thriving: skilled and certified workers who uphold food safety and service standards.
Singapore’s F&B industry is world-famous — from Michelin-starred restaurants to hawker stalls that draw tourists daily. But behind every delicious plate served is a responsibility: keeping food safe for consumers.

But here’s the problem: many workers and even business owners remain confused about what course is required, how to register, how much it costs, and what happens if you don’t comply.
