What licence should a caterer have?
SFA licence for catering
Singapore Food Agency (SFA) · Required by law
Only SFA-licensed food businesses may provide catering (buffets or packed meals). Caterers are Category 1 under the SAFE framework, and from Phase 2 (details by 2027) must appoint an Advanced Food Hygiene Officer and run a food-safety management system to hold grade A.
Check the official registerMUIS Halal Certificate
Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS) · Optional accreditation
Voluntary, but MUIS is the only body that can issue halal certificates in Singapore (Administration of Muslim Law Act). Certified outlets must display the original, valid certificate; photocopies are not allowed.

How to choose a caterer
- Confirm the caterer is SFA-licensed and ask for its licence number; caterers are Category 1 under SFA's SAFE framework, so the grade reflects their track record.
- For halal events, verify the caterer on the MUIS directory – the certificate should cover its central kitchen.
- Compare total cost: delivery, setup, location surcharges, GST and minimum-pax rules can add significantly.
- Ask about food-holding time: buffet food is usually meant to be eaten within a few hours of delivery; plan the timing around your event.
- Check buffer quantities – most caterers recommend ordering for the confirmed headcount, not extra, as portions already include some buffer.
Red flags
- A home-based seller offering buffet or packed-meal catering – SFA prohibits this.
- Halal claims without a MUIS certificate covering the caterer.
- No written menu, headcount and delivery window confirmation.
Questions to ask before you book
- What is your SFA licence number and current SAFE grade?
- Is your kitchen MUIS halal-certified?
- What is the minimum order, and what are delivery and setup charges?
- What time will food be delivered, and by when should it be consumed?
- Who collects the buffet equipment, and when?
Questions about catering in Singapore
Can home-based businesses do catering in Singapore?
No. SFA allows home-based food businesses to sell without a licence, but explicitly bars them from offering catering, including buffet lines and packed meals, because of the higher food-safety risk at that scale. Only SFA-licensed food businesses can cater, and licensed caterers cannot operate from home.
How much does mini buffet catering cost in Singapore?
Mini buffets for 8–30 people generally cost about $13–22 per pax before GST, based on caterers' published menus, with minimum orders of 8–20 pax. Bentos range from under $5 per pax for large bulk orders to $17.50 for premium sets. Delivery, setup and location surcharges are often extra.
How do I check if a caterer is halal?
Search the caterer on MUIS's halal directory or the MuslimSG app and ask to see the original certificate. Certification is tied to specific premises, so a caterer with one certified kitchen may produce some menus elsewhere.
What happened to the A, B, C, D hygiene grades in Singapore?
From 19 January 2026 SFA replaced the annual A–D hygiene grade with the SAFE framework. Outlets now get A (more than three years with no major lapse), B (one to three years), NEW (operating under a year) or C (a court conviction for a food-safety offence or a licence suspension under the demerit-points system). Scan the QR code on the SFA licence at the counter to see the current grade.
