## Scope of this guide

Includes an application note linked to official sources, not a completed regulatory review for every product category.

PRODUCT REVIEW IN PRACTICE

## Singapore: product dossier priorities

For Singapore, track SFA labelling sources separately from relevant nutrition and claims resources. Even for small import batches, retail images, physical packaging and product cards should show the same version. An old packaging example alone is not a basis for assessing new wording or transitional provisions.

## Singapore: prepacked food scope

SFA’s labelling guidance starts by asking whether the product is classified as prepacked food. Review English label information together with the product name, ingredients and allergens. SFA’s online-sales guidance also addresses readable product information or label photographs so consumers can access information before purchase. Compare the physical label supplied to the importer with the version displayed on the e-commerce page. Assess information delivery for non-prepacked foods separately.

## Jurisdiction-specific legislation records

Archive dates do not confirm current legal effect. Titles retain their source language; this selection is not exhaustive.

## How is the label review dossier prepared?

Collect artwork, recipe, allergen evidence and importer details for the same product version. Our working method explains the shared document-preparation and reporting steps.

**Packaging, recipe and evidence in one review dossier.**Knowing which product version a finding concerns matters as much as the correction itself. Maintain file and revision tracking throughout the assignment.

Sources are selected research references. An archive record does not confirm current legal effect; national adoption of Codex texts requires separate verification.
