FOOD ADDITIVES PERMITTED UNDER THE SINGAPORE FOOD REGULATIONS(as at 31 May 2024)

Food additives permitted for use in food products imported/manufactured for sale in Singapore are
specified under the Food Regulations. The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has prepared this guidance
document to assist food businesses to conduct self-checks on their food products to ensure that only
permitted food additives are used, and the levels used are within the maximum levels permitted under
the Food Regulations.
This guidance document is not legally binding, and should be read together with the Food Regulations.
A soft copy of the Food Regulations may be downloaded from:• http://www.sfa.gov.sg/legislation. [Click on “Sale of Food Act”, then select “Food Regulations”]
Legend:(GMP) - “Good manufacturing practice” means that the additive may be added to food at a quantity
limited to the lowest possible level necessary to accomplish its desired effect, unless otherwise
prohibited by individual standards under the Food Regulations. Nutrient supplements (i.e. food additives
listed under the Seventh Schedule) should be added at levels that are safe and suitable for the target
consumers, and taking into consideration the requirements specified under Regulations 11(4) and 252.
( * ) – Maximum levels of use are stipulated under the Food Regulations. Food businesses are advised
to refer to the specific Regulation or Schedule for details(A) Food Additives With INS Numbers

Notes:(1) Permitted enzymes are listed under Part 2 of the Eighth Schedule of the Food Regulations.
(2) Flavouring agents, including both natural flavouring agents and synthetic flavouring essences
or extracts are regulated under Regulation 22 of the Food Regulations. Flavouring agents do
not include substances that impart a sweet taste to food; such substances would be regulated
as sweetening agents under the Food Regulations. In principle, SFA has no objection to theuse of flavouring substances that have been evaluated and endorsed by recognised
international bodies such as the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA),
the Flavour and Extract Manufacturers’ Association (FEMA), or the European Food Safety
Authority (EFSA), under good manufacturing practice (GMP), provided that the flavouring
preparations do not contain any of the prohibited substances listed under Regulation 22(7) of
the Food Regulations.
