FOOD PACKAGING & LabelLing
IMPORTANCE OF FOOD PACKAGING AND LABELLING
Food packaging and its labelling serve two main functions:
​
-
The type of packaging protects the integrity of the food.
-
A packaging's labelling communicates critical product information to your customers.
LABELLING REQUIREMENTS FOR FOOD PACKAGING
Imported and local food products need to comply with Singapore's Food Regulations. This includes labelling requirements, which include:
​
-
Name or description of food
-
Ingredient list
-
Net quantity of food in package
-
Name and address of local food business
-
Country of origin (for imported food products)
-
Date-marking of expiry date.
