Revision to Manufacturer’s Declaration for Food Products containing less than 5% meat

To Meat importers

Dear Sir/Madam

Revision To Manufacturer’s Declaration For Food Products Containing Less Than 5% Meat

1. SFA has revised clause four of the manufacturer’s declaration for food products containing less than 5% meat for clarity.

2. This revision clarifies that the requirement concerns substances that are harmful to public health. The revised clause reads:

“The products have not been treated with any substances, including chemical preservatives, that are harmful to public health.”

3. Any preservatives used must comply with the applicable requirements under Singapore’s Food Regulations. All other clauses of the manufacturer’s declaration and existing import requirements remain unchanged.

4. Importers are requested to inform their overseas manufacturers of the revised wording and arrange for the manufacturer’s declarations submitted with import permit applications to be updated. To allow time for manufacturers to make the change, declarations using the existing wording will continue to be accepted until 11 February 2027.

5. Should you require any clarifications, please contact us at SFA Online Feedback Form.
