According to new food laws labels on pre-packed foods in Thailand must comply with Thai Ministry of Public Health Notification No.367 (2014), from December 2016, marking the end of a two-year transition period. Manufacturers and importers need to prepare and be ready to use new labels that comply. The new regulation in Thailand has increased the labeling requirements for pre-packed foods.
This Regulation came into force on December 3, 2014. Manufacturers or importers of food for which labels have been made prior to this date can extend their use for up to two years. However, the two-year transition period will come to an end on December 2, 2016.
