Do I need to get approval from SFA for the use of food contact articles / food packaging material?

Updated by SFA
SFA does not grant pre-market approval for food contact articles. All food contact articles imported, used and sold in Singapore are required to comply with the safety requirements as stipulated under Regulation 37 of the Food Regulations. It is also the responsibility of the food manufacturer and trader to ensure that the food contact articles used for storing or for commercial packing of their food do not migrate any harmful substances into the food.
