1. Labelling of Goods
2. Labelling of Pre-packaged Food

Key points:

• Roadside vendors must label pre-packaged items with required info (e.g., ingredients, expiry date).

• Local producers of food and drinks must meet labelling standards for consumer safety.

Non-compliance may lead to fines, product seizures, or suspension of sales.
