Singapore has approved the import of pig blood products from Taiwan, ending a 27-year ban that had been in place since 1999. The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) announced that the decision follows a thorough assessment of food safety standards and heat-treatment processes used to eliminate pathogens. While the ban was originally implemented due to a Nipah virus outbreak, the updated regulations allow for the return of pig blood curd to the local market, provided the products originate from approved establishments that meet strict hygiene requirements.

Bro if we start living like 30,000 years ago, then we should also leave phones, internet, hospitals and jobs. But we don’t, because we live in a modern world.
