 * Ensure that the terms used for the common names or descriptions comply with the statutory requirements by referring to “Part IV – Standards and Particular Labelling Requirements for Food” of the Food Regulations


 * HPB: Nutrional Labeling Handbook

Other claims are those not related to nutrition of health claims, and include “organic” and “gluten-free”. The current Singapore Food Regulations do not specify the requirements for the use of claims suggesting that a food product is organically produced or is free of gluten (claims are represented using words like “organic” and “gluten-free” respectively). To ensure consumers’ protection and a level playing field for the industry, AVA currently adopts the guidelines and standard established by the international food standards body, the Codex Alimentarius Commission* for the use of such claims.
