Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law of 2012.
No package containing edible fats or oils shall be labelled with the word “polyunsaturated”, or any word of similar meaning, unless the proportion of cis-methylene interrupted polyunsaturated fatty acids is more than 40% (w/w) of the total fat and the proportion of saturated fatty acids does not exceed 20% (w/w) of the total.
Every package of prepacked edible fats and oils for sale shall be labelled with a nutrition information panel in the form specified in the Twelfth Schedule or in such other similar form as may be acceptable to the Director-General, specifying the energy value, the amounts of protein, carbohydrate, fat, trans fatty acids and the amount of any other nutrients for which a nutrition claim is made in respect of the food.
