Where to Buy Natural, Organic and Health Food in Singapore

When we first knew about Bubbles' intolerance to certain foods, dealing with it was like having to learn a new language. Having to cut out gluten, chicken, eggs and milk, most of our meal staples had to be eliminated. I went on a mini rampage, seeking out resources and looking for places to buy suitable food. I was familiar with some of the usual places to get organic food, but needed more information about specialized items. I scanned magazines, websites and forums, kept my eyes peeled whenever we were out shopping, and made mental notes about where to get what.

Below is a list of shops in Singapore where you can purchase health and natural products for various dietary needs. It includes both online websites and brick and mortar shops (many have both options!). Products you can buy include organic foods, quality meats, foods made from healthier, more natural sources, and foods free from dairy, gluten, eggs, or other common allergenic ingredients. Although this list is primarily about food, I included a small category on home and beauty products for now.

I hope some of you will find this list useful! Although I have not bought from all of these places, they do come recommended, and I hope to update and refine this list over time. If you have any shops to recommend, do drop me an email!

If you are looking for a certain product, I always recommend first checking out NTUC Finest or Cold Storage Supermarkets. They are big chains that carry a large variety of food, including dedicated segments for natural, organic and health foods. If you rather not make a trip down, you could search their online stores (limited products) or give them a call. My personal favourite outlets are NTUC Finest at Bukit Timah Plaza, and Cold Storage at Great World City.

Another popular source to purchase natural products is iHerb.com. While this is not a Singapore-based website, many of the prices are lower than what you can find in Singapore, even with regular shipping costs. This is a to-go site for many people I know.
