  "summary": "The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) is currently investigating claims of dog meat being sold to consumers in Singapore, following the emergence of social media posts advertising various dishes and cuts of the meat. SFA has not approved any source of dog meat, emphasizing that all food imports must adhere to the agency’s requirements. The alleged sale reportedly included grilled and steamed meats, ribs, and other cuts, with claims that the meat was imported from Vietnam. SFA has urged food importers and retailers to ensure that products brought into the country comply with the agency’s import requirements and are safe for consumption. Violations can result in fines up to $50,000 or imprisonment for up to two years, with repeat offenders facing higher penalties. The public can report concerns about food safety practices to SFA via its online feedback form.",
