This list was originally prepared in the US by Dr. Pratt. I have sifted out the brands that can be found in Singapore. Note that those found locally may not have the same amount of nutrients or less baddies than their US counterparts. Nevertheless, the list is a starting point to focus us amidst the myriad of brands out there.
