Is it a requirement to declare the country of origin for each individual ingredients used in the prepacked food?

Updated by SFA
The Food Regulations require the country of origin of the food product to be declared on the labels of prepacked food. The country of origin refers to the place where the handling of the food last took place (for e.g. the last place where the food was packed into its primary packaging). It is not a requirement to declare the country of origin of each ingredient used in the food product.
