Nutrition labelling requirements in Singapore

Packaged food sold in Singapore must carry a nutrition declaration under Food Regulations (Cap. SFA 1973) regs 184A, 184F + First Schedule. This page covers the Singapore - Nutrition Information + Nutri-Grade format: SFA panel with per-serving/per-100g columns and auto-graded A-D Nutri-Grade beverage mark. A compliant Singapore nutrition label declares 8 mandatory nutrients: energy, protein, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, carbohydrate, total sugar and sodium. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml and per serving, both columns required, with energy in kcal, and sodium rather than salt. The panel is headed "Nutrition Information". English is required on pack. NFL builds a print-ready Singapore nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Singapore automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.

Singapore Nutri-Grade meaning and which beverages are covered

Singapore Nutri-Grade is a mandatory grading system, in force under the Food Regulations, for drinks that fall within the definition of a "Nutri-Grade beverage". Covered drinks are graded A, B, C or D on their sugar and saturated fat content, with A the lowest levels and D the highest.

The Nutri-Grade system covers:

  • prepacked ready-to-drink beverages in bottles, cans, cartons, packets or similar containers;
  • powders and concentrates meant to be made up or diluted into a drink;
  • non-customisable drinks from automated beverage dispensers;
  • freshly prepared drinks, including drinks made by hand at the place of sale; and
  • customisable drinks from automated beverage dispensers.

Alcoholic drinks above 0.5% alcohol by volume are outside the definition, as are certain special purpose foods such as infant formula, follow-up formula and foods for special medical purposes.

The rules for prepacked drinks and non-customisable dispenser drinks have been in force since 30 December 2022. The rules for freshly prepared drinks and customisable dispenser drinks have been in force since 30 December 2023.

How the Singapore Nutri-Grade calculation works

A Nutri-Grade beverage gets a separate grade for sugar and for saturated fat, both per 100 ml. Its final grade is the poorer of the two. A drink with a Grade B sugar level and a Grade C saturated fat level is Grade C.

The thresholds are set in the Sixteenth Schedule of the Food Regulations and are in force. As examples, Grade A allows no more than 1 g of sugar and 0.7 g of saturated fat per 100 ml, while more than 10 g of sugar or 2.8 g of saturated fat per 100 ml puts a drink in Grade D.

The sugar figure used for grading is total sugar per 100 ml minus any declared lactose and galactose. If lactose or galactose is not declared, it is treated as zero.

A drink that would otherwise meet both Grade A thresholds is graded B if a specified non-sugar sweetener, such as aspartame or a sugar alcohol, has been added to sweeten it. Powders and concentrates are graded on 100 ml of the drink as prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions. The Health Promotion Board offers a voluntary Nutri-Grade calculator, but the Food Regulations remain the legal test.

Nutri-Grade label requirements for Grade C and D drinks

Prepacked Nutri-Grade beverages graded C or D must display the Nutri-Grade mark on the front of the package. This is mandatory and in force. The front of the pack is the face that carries the drink's name and brand and sits in the consumer's main field of vision.

For Grade A and B drinks the mark is voluntary: they may show it, but do not have to.

The mark shows the grade and the sugar content as a percentage per 100 ml, rounded as regulation 184D requires, and must follow the prescribed graphic specifications.

For freshly prepared drinks graded C or D, the mark is mandatory next to the drink on the menu at the point of purchase, including online menus. Advertising Grade D drinks is prohibited across the media the regulations cover, with specified exceptions such as point-of-sale advertising for prepacked Grade D drinks in shops when the mark is clearly displayed.

SFA nutrition information panel requirements in Singapore

A nutrition information panel is mandatory for Nutri-Grade beverages that fall under the nutrition information rules. For a prepacked Nutri-Grade beverage, the panel must give energy, protein, carbohydrate and fat, plus total sugar unless the drink contains no carbohydrate, and saturated fat unless it contains no fat. It must follow the form in the Twelfth Schedule, or a similar acceptable form.

A nutrition information panel is not mandatory on every prepacked food sold in Singapore. Under regulation 8A, a label that makes a nutrition claim must generally carry a panel stating energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat and the nutrient the claim is about, subject to the exceptions in that regulation.

The Singapore Food Agency also lists panels as mandatory for specific categories, such as edible fats and oils and special purpose foods. All prepacked foods remain subject to Singapore's general labelling rules even where a panel is not separately mandatory.

Nutri-Grade sodium and the extension to foods

Sodium is not part of the current beverage grade. The Nutri-Grade calculation in force for drinks uses only sugar and saturated fat.

Singapore is extending Nutri-Grade to prepacked foods that are major sources of sodium and saturated fat: salt, sauces, seasonings, instant noodles and cooking oils. This extension is proposed, not yet in force. On 3 October 2026 the Health Minister announced it will take effect in 2028, later than the mid-2027 date announced previously, to give industry time to reformulate. A separate category for healthier all-in-one sauces is also being developed.

Under the Health Promotion Board's published specifications, products in the covered categories would be graded A to D on category-specific thresholds. Products graded C or D would need a front-of-pack Nutri-Grade label, labelling for A and B would stay voluntary, and advertising Grade D products would be prohibited. These details are proposed and remain subject to gazettal.

Common questions

What is Singapore's Nutri-Grade?
Nutri-Grade is Singapore's mandatory grading and labelling system for drinks, using grades A, B, C and D. The grade is based on sugar and saturated fat per 100 ml, and Grade C and D drinks must carry the Nutri-Grade mark.
How is Nutri-Grade calculated?
A drink gets a sugar grade and a saturated fat grade per 100 ml, and the poorer of the two becomes its final grade. Declared lactose and galactose are subtracted from total sugar first. A drink that meets both Grade A limits but contains an added non-sugar sweetener is graded B.
Which drinks need a Nutri-Grade mark?
The mark is mandatory for Nutri-Grade beverages graded C or D: on the front of the pack for prepacked drinks, and next to the drink at the point of purchase for freshly prepared drinks. For Grade A and B drinks the mark is voluntary.
Does Nutri-Grade apply to food as well as drinks?
Not yet. The rules in force cover drinks only. An extension to salt, sauces, seasonings, instant noodles and cooking oils is proposed and is due to take effect in 2028.
Is the nutrition information panel mandatory in Singapore?
Only in specified cases. It is mandatory for covered Nutri-Grade beverages, for foods whose label makes a nutrition claim, and for certain categories such as edible fats and oils and special purpose foods. It is not required on every prepacked food, although all prepacked foods must meet Singapore's general labelling rules.
What do Nutri-Grade A, B, C and D mean?
The four grades are progressively higher bands of sugar or saturated fat per 100 ml, with A the lowest and D the highest. For example, Grade A allows no more than 1 g of sugar per 100 ml, while more than 10 g puts a drink in Grade D.
Does Nutri-Grade use total sugar or added sugar?
Total sugar. The grading starts from total sugar per 100 ml, then subtracts any declared lactose and galactose, as set out in the Sixteenth Schedule.
Is sodium part of the Nutri-Grade calculation for drinks?
No. The grade in force for drinks uses sugar and saturated fat only. Sodium is a nutrient of concern in the proposed extension to foods such as salt, sauces, seasonings and instant noodles.
