It consists of rice vermicelli with chicken, prawn or fish, served in spicy soup based on rich and spicy coconut milk. Laksa traces its origins back to the Ming Dynasty (1368 to 1644) and is reportedly brought to South East Asia by a Chinese naval expedition led by Admiral Zheng He. Our Singapore Laksa potato chips, as the name suggests, is based on the Singapore version of this hot Asian cuisine.

Hainanese Chicken Rice

Hainanese Chicken Rice is a beautiful Asian cuisine identified by the fragrance of ginger and the aroma of sesame oil. This dish traces its origins to the Qin Dynasty (221 – 206 BC). Based on a well-known Hainanese dish called Wenchang Chicken, so-called because the Hainanese has traditionally only used the Wenchang breed of chicken to make the dish. Almost every country in Asia has a version of Hainanese Chicken Rice. The San Francisco Chronicle says that, “The dish maps 150 years of immigration from China’s Hainan Island to Singapore…”. Our Hainanese Chicken Rice potato chips is based on the Singapore version of the dish, of course, and we guarantee that you will love it.

WE TAKE NO CHANCES

We want our potato chips to be tasty. That’s why we spent so much money, manpower and burning the midnight oil on R&D to get the taste right.

We want our potato chips to have the best quality and safety because the chips are for all the fans and friends of F.EAST (and we ourselves are among them). That’s why the factory that produces F.EAST is certified according to highest standards in the global food manufacturing industry.

These are the 3 core certifications that our factory has attained to ensure that our potato chips are of the highest quality and safety possible.

THE PROCESS

Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) 22000

The FSSC 22000 is an internationally accepted certification scheme developed in response to customer demands for a recognizable standard against which a food safety management system can be audited and certified. FSSC 22000 was given Global Recognition by the GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative), as well as other food safety schemes such as BRC or IFS. The certification scheme is owned by the Foundation for Food Safety Certification.

FSSC 22000 has been developed for the certification of food safety systems, which guarantee the safety of products during primary production of animal products, manufacturing of perishable animal and/or vegetable products, products with a long shelf life and food ingredients like additives, vitamins and bio-cultures, animal food and feed production and food packaging manufacturing.

Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points (HACCP)

HACCP is a systematic preventive approach to food safety from biological, chemical, and physical hazards in production processes that can cause the finished product to be unsafe and designs measures to reduce these risks to a safe level.

HACCP attempts to avoid hazards rather than attempting to inspect finished products for the effects of those hazards. The HACCP system can be used at all stages of a food chain, from food production and preparation processes including packaging, distribution, etc.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), for example, require mandatory HACCP programs for juice and meat as an effective approach to food safety and protecting public health.

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)

GMP refers to the practices required in order to conform to the guidelines recommended by agencies that control the authorization and licensing of the manufacture and sale of food and beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products, dietary supplements, and medical devices.

These guidelines state the requirements that a manufacturer must meet to assure that their products are consistently high in quality, from batch to batch. The main purpose of GMP is to prevent harm from occurring to the end user.

Additional requirements include ensuring the end product is free from contamination, that it is consistent in its manufacture, that its manufacture has been well documented, that personnel are well-trained, and the product has been checked for quality more than just at the end phase.
