Food Label Screening & Application in Malaysia

Planning to sell or import food products in Malaysia? Before printing your packaging or shipping your products, it is important to make sure your food label and formulation comply with Malaysian food regulations.

Food labelling is regulated under the Food Act 1983 and Food Regulations 1985, administered by the Ministry of Health (MOH) through the Food Safety and Quality Division (FSQD).

Why Is Food Label Screening Important?

A proper label screening can help you:

  • Identify non-compliant information before printing
  • Check ingredient and additive requirements
  • Review product claims and nutrition information
  • Ensure mandatory information is included
  • Reduce the risk of shipment delays and costly relabelling
  • Prepare the product for the Malaysian market

What Do We Check?

Our food label screening can include:

✓ Product classification
✓ Full formulation and ingredient compliance
✓ Food additives, colours and preservatives
✓ Ingredient declaration
✓ Nutrition information
✓ Nutrition and health claims
✓ Allergen and mandatory statements
✓ Product name and description
✓ Manufacturer, importer and country-of-origin details
✓ Label artwork compliance

We recommend conducting the screening before the packaging is printed or the shipment is arranged. This helps identify potential issues early and avoids unnecessary amendments and costs.
