Answers to what most clients ask before getting started.
Is a Nutrition Information Panel (NIP) mandatory for food sold in Singapore?
Most pre-packaged food products sold in Singapore require a NIP under HPB guidelines. This is particularly relevant for products sold through retail channels or supplied to distributors. If you’re unsure whether it applies to your product, share your product details with us and we’ll advise accordingly.
How quickly can I get my food lab test results?
Standard tests such as nutritional analysis and microbiological screening are typically completed within 3–7 working days. Shelf life studies run longer by nature — accelerated studies can be wrapped up in weeks, whereas real-time studies run for the full target shelf life period.
My product is a beverage — what does Nutri-Grade require?
Nutri-Grade has been mandatory for pre-packaged beverages in Singapore since 30 December 2022. Products are graded A to D based on sugar and saturated fat levels. You’ll need test results across 6 parameters before your label can be finalised — we handle the testing and can advise on your grade before you commit to packaging.
What should I have ready before submitting a sample?
At minimum, we need your product name, ingredient list, target market, and packaging format. For shelf life studies, add your intended shelf life and storage conditions. WhatsApp us your product details and we’ll send over a preparation checklist specific to your tests.
Does Co-Lab run its own laboratory?
Co-Lab is a food testing Food Testing and Service Solution Provider. We work with recognised laboratory partners and facilitate food tests for you to obtain your food labelling, expiry date, regulatory compliance and quality assurance records — so you get a single point of contact instead of managing multiple labs yourself.
What testing is typically required for food imports into Singapore?
Import testing requirements vary by product category and are governed by SFA. Common requirements include microbiological safety, contaminant screening, and nutritional labelling. Tell us what you’re importing and its origin — we’ll identify the applicable tests and ensure the results come from the right accredited lab.
