If the food is packed in carton boxes, does the carton box need to comply with the general labelling requirements?

Updated by SFA
The general labelling requirements stipulated under the Food Regulations apply to prepacked foods in packages that are intended for sale to consumers as such. Hence, if your prepacked food is intended to be sold in its outer packaging (e.g. carton boxes), the outer packaging should comply with the labelling requirements. If the product is meant to be sold as individual packages, then the requirements would apply to the individual package.
