Singapore's SATS Creates 8-Month Shelf-Life Meals for Emergency Preparedness

Singapore-based SATS has developed ready-to-eat meals with an eight-month shelf life for emergency preparedness. * The meals require no refrigeration and can be eaten at room temperature. * Five meal options include biryani, pasta, and fish porridge. * Meals are prepared in a halal-certified kitchen without additives or preservatives. * The meals undergo a sterilization process to eliminate harmful bacteria. * 150,000 meals will be distributed as part of Singapore's Exercise SG Ready. * The meals provide essential energy and nutrients. * Ingredients are selectively picked, with SATS working with local farmers. * Packaging is airtight to prevent contamination. * The Singapore Food Agency collaborated on the initiative to ensure food access during crises.
