Singapore: allergens
What your kitchen must tell customers about allergens.
Checked
“Law” is a binding rule. “Official guidance” is not law, but inspectors expect it. “Chef Hygiene default” is a value the app checks against where no rule gives a number.
- Official guidanceFor packaged food, the label names cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts and soybeans, milk, tree nuts, and sulphites of 10 mg/kg or more. We found no legal duty for restaurants to show allergens; telling customers what is in each dish is our advice.
