For almost a century, food and chemical safety testing has been performed mainly on laboratory animals. There is growing scientific agreement that animal testing, in addition to being costly and time consuming, is not necessarily a good predictor of human toxicity.
By supporting the creation, development, validation, and use of alternatives to animals in research, product safety testing, and education, we aim to better promote humane science within Singapore and across Southeast Asia whilst working to improve global food and chemical safety frameworks.
