Are there any regulations on food packaging materials?

Updated by SFA
All food-contact articles including water bottles and food containers, imported, used or 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.
