Food (Amendment) Regulations 2025

On 30 September 2022, the Singapore Food Agency notified the WTO via G/SPS/N/SGP/78 of the proposed amendments to the Food Regulations, then titled draft Food (Amendment No. X) Regulations 2022, concerning labelling requirements for prepacked food. Following feedback received during the comment period, the following trade facilitative amendments have been made to the draft Food (Amendment No. X) Regulations 2022:

1. Exemption of prepacked fresh, whole and unpeeled fruits and vegetables from the declaration of lot identification on the label; and

2. Removal of the proposed new Regulation 12A for food advertised or sold on online sales platforms, which required online platforms to display stipulated labelling information for prepacked food sold online.

The finalized regulations have been gazetted as the Food (Amendment) Regulations 2025 on 31 January 2025 and will enter into force on 30 January 2026.
