Think Canada and Singpore food regulations are quite similar. In Singapore food organizations from big to small hawker's are graded on food hygiene and safety. There are labels to indicate the levels they attained and must be displayed.
Live in China early enough to witness the whole milk scandal and fake foods fiasco. Thereafter hardly ate outside and food was sourced from secured farms after heeding advice from fellow Singaporeans who were in the food industry and had been in China long before me. Since relocating back to Singapore, have never bought any China fresh or canned produce from any shops/supermarkets.
Food safety is not getting better in China. Like all rules and regulations, implementations are always non-existential. It is disgusting the video you showed.
All food handlers must be registered with SFA (Singapore Food Agency - national authority for food safety), they are required to attend food hygiene training course (including waiting staff), those working in kitchen (direct contact with food) are also required to attend WSQ Food Safety Course Level 1 (learn how to conduct food safety checks in personal hygiene, good receiving, food storage and food handling - Offenders who do not adhere to food safety regulations may face fines of up to S$5,000 - Continuing offence will face additional fine not exceeding S$100 for each day during which the offence persists after conviction - For severe food offence, magistrates’ court may impose a fine of up to S$20,000
