| Summary |
In order to facilitate easy recycling of plastic bottles, reduce contamination of chemicals from inks, glue, and small plastic label fragment in recycled plastic materials, and reduce plastic label waste, this draft of notification of the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) (No. …) B.E. .... issued by virtue of the Food Act B.E. 2522 Re: Mineral Water (No. 2) amends the detail of labelling requirements beyond the notification of MOPH on labelling of pre-packaged foods. The display of labelling on the mineral water bottles will be allowed to voluntarily use label-free techniques (e.g., embossing, engraving) and digital labelling (e.g., QR code) to provide food information to consumers. The name of the food, trademark, symbol, brand name, food serial number, and volume should be provided on the bottle using techniques e.g. embossing or engraving, together with a digital labelling. Likewise, the manufacturing date, expiration date, or best-before date are required to be displayed on the individual bottles. Additional information, such as name and address of manufacturer, importer, or head office, carbonation, chemical composition, geographic location, declared treatment or modification can be provided only in the digital labelling.
