How to declare flavouring powder under the statement of ingredients for a prepacked food product?


Updated by SFA
Prepacked food products made available for sale in Singapore should comply with the requirements as stipulated the Food Regulations. Under regulation 5 of the Food Regulations, all ingredients and additives (including flavouring agent) used must be declared in descending order of the proportions by ingoing weight at the time of manufacture. The flavouring powder , if referring to a preparation consisting solely of flavouring agents as defined under regulation 22 of the Food Regulations, may be reflected under the statement of ingredients using the permitted generic term, “Flavouring” as listed under the First Schedule of the Food Regulations. However, if the ‘flavouring powder’ is a mixture of ingredients/spices/additives, it is a compound ingredient and the breakdown composition of this compound ingredient should be disclosed accordingly under the statement of ingredients.
