Household Ingredients Compared › Singapore
What's actually in it?
A Singapore comparison of the ingredients in common household products — the things you buy every week at FairPrice, Cold Storage, Giant, Sheng Siong, Donki, Mustafa, Meidi-Ya, Le Petit Depot, Little Farms, RedMart, and on Lazada and Shopee Singapore — including parallel-imported brands.
It started with fresh milk, because fresh milk showed the whole idea in one product: plain milk barely differs at all, and the differences only appear when you move to low-fat, fortified and flavoured versions. The same pattern turns out to hold across the supermarket — which is why this site now covers 200 product types, plus fresh milk.
What we are doing
For each product type, we list the products actually sold in Singapore, then show, side by side:
The ingredient list as printed — verbatim, not summarised, not rewritten. Variants are separate rows, because a low-fat, flavoured or UHT version of the same brand is a different product with a different list.
A plain-English glossary for that category's jargon — milk solids, permeate, lactase, plant stanols vs sterols, emulsifiers, and so on, explained without assuming you already know them.
Added-sugar and allergen flags — sucrose, glucose syrup, brown sugar syrup and the like called out as added sugar, distinct from natural lactose in milk or fructose in fruit; fish, gluten, milk, soy and other allergens as printed.
Nutrition numbers, where available — per 100g / 100ml wherever the pack gives it, with energy, protein, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, sugars and sodium (salt = sodium × 2.5, shown in brackets). Per-serving figures are flagged as per serving, never silently converted. Nutrition sections have now been added to all pages (5–6 Nov 2026); coverage is partial by design — products without a verifiable nutrition panel are listed in each page's nutrition-specific seen-but-not-verified list.
What could not be verified — every page has a seen-but-not-verified list. If a full list or nutrition panel could not be verified from a retailer, brand or pack source, the product is listed there with the reason, rather than filled in from another country's version of the same product.
Why it's helpful
The front of the pack hides the interesting part. “100%”, “natural”, “no sugar added”, “Greek-style” and “pure” do not always mean what they sound like. The list on the back — and the sugar/sodium numbers — is where the difference shows up.
The same name is not the same product. A brand can sell a clean plain version and a formulated flavoured version, a Singapore version and an overseas version, or a plain version and a “less sugar” version with sugar still first. Comparing like with like, variant by variant, is the whole point.
Ingredients say whether, nutrition says how much. Knowing sucrose is in a jam is useful; knowing it is 55g per 100g versus 35g per 100g is what you act on. The same goes for sodium in soy sauce, instant noodles and canned meat.
Parallel imports count. Japanese milk at Donki, French UHT milk at Le Petit Depot, Australian and New Zealand brands at Mustafa and on Shopee — if it's on a Singapore shelf or a Singapore listing, it's in scope, not just the officially distributed brands.
No score to argue with. There is no invented 0–100 health score, no “best” pick, and no ranking. You see the list and the numbers, and you decide what matters to you — sugar, salt, palm oil, a fish allergen, a gluten allergen, or simply whether something is actually 100% milk.
How to read a page
Start with the at-a-glance table, then read the panels for the products you're choosing between. Watch for three things in particular: what comes first (milk, water, milk solids, sugar, oil — the first ingredient is the main one), whether sugar or a sweetener appears at all and where, and whether a claim on the front matches the list on the back (“100%” that turns out to be milk solids + milk fat, “no sugar added” that still lists sugar first, “Greek-style” that starts with water). Where sources conflict — and they do, often — the page says so, rather than quietly picking one.
One warning that applies to every page: formulations change, and retailer listings lag. If a list here disagrees with the pack in your hand, trust the pack, and treat the page as a starting point for comparison, not as a substitute for reading the label.
What this site is not
Not a health score, and not medical advice. Brand claims (cholesterol-care, lactose-free, “more nutritious”) are quoted as the brand's claims.
Not a taste test, and not a price comparison. Prices are deliberately not shown — they change weekly and would go stale.
Not complete, forever. Stock and formulations change, and some products could not be verified in this pass. Those gaps are listed on each page, not hidden.
SG kefir is almost entirely small-batch local brewers plus Babushka at Little Farms; Babushka lists are reconstituted-milk-powder based, unlike Craft & Culture's fresh-milk original.
“Greek-style” is not a reliable guide — FAGE Total 0% and Chobani Plain are milk-and-cultures, while Marigold Greek Style Natural starts with water, then milk solids.
Natural slices list only milk, salt, culture and rennet/coagulant; processed slices are typically ~50–65% cheese plus water, butter/milk solids and emulsifying salts.
A probiotic drink is a fermented milk drink with named live cultures — Yakult's Lacticaseibacillus paracasei strain Shirota, Vitagen's Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus paracasei.
A flavoured yogurt drink is a thin, drinkable yogurt — water and milk solids first, then fruit juice or fruit syrup, sugar or fructose, stabilisers, and live cultures.
This is a thin category in Singapore, and this page says so plainly. The chilled cheese-snack shelf in Singapore supermarkets is small: waxed mini cheeses (Babybel), processed cheese cubes and triangles, and cheese strips.
This is the thinnest category in this batch, and the reason is a market fact, not a research gap: Singapore supermarkets largely do not sell liquid egg.
A bagel is a boiled-then-baked ring of wheat dough — flour, water, yeast and salt, plus sugar in most packaged versions. The packaged bagels sold in Singapore are mostly US-style pre-sliced bagels with a long preservative and conditioner list; a sourdough bagel is a different, shorter-list product.
A bun is a small enriched bread roll — wheat flour, water, yeast, sugar, oil and salt, usually with added vitamins and calcium propionate to keep it soft on the shelf.
A packaged cake is a long-life sponge: flour, sugar and egg, plus vegetable oil or tallow, glycerin to hold moisture, and a long list of raising agents, gums and preservatives that keep it soft for weeks.
Naan and roti prata (paratha) are both wheat flatbreads, but they are built differently. Naan is a leavened bread — flour, water, yeast, oil and salt, with garlic and herbs in the flavoured version.
Mantou are plain steamed buns — wheat flour, water, sugar, yeast and a little fat, steamed rather than baked, so they stay white, soft and mildly sweet.
Crispbread and breadsticks are the simplest products on this site: crispbread is usually rye flour, yeast and salt — sometimes just three ingredients — baked dry and crisp; breadsticks (grissini) are wheat flour, olive oil, yeast and salt.
“Natural” does not mean peanuts-only — Skippy Natural and Jif Natural still list sugar + palm oil, while Pic's, Fix & Fogg, Mayver's and Byron Bay salted are peanuts + sea salt only. Re-audit added Forty Thieves (Smooth is 100% peanuts) and Adams Crunchy/Creamy; Scoop peanut butter is sold in SG but has no printed list retrievable online.
“55” in Aohata 55 is sugar level, not 55% fruit; St. Dalfour (grape/date juice, no cane sugar) vs Smucker's Sugar Free (water first, sucralose, Red 40).
Sugar is first and oil second in every panelled jar; Nutella is sugar/palm oil/hazelnuts 13%/cocoa 7.4%, while Hershey's and Cadbury contain no hazelnuts.
Every reduced-sugar kaya panelled still lists sugar first plus a sugar alcohol; Glory's “No Sugar Added” list is word-for-word identical to its “Less Sugar” list.
Complete mixes (just add water) already contain dried milk, fat and egg; Morinaga/Showa — the mixes SG shoppers buy most — have no verbatim list online.
Cleanest list is Little Farms/Sidecar (pork, water, salt, pepper, herbs, spices, garlic, casing — no sugar, no nitrite) vs Johnsonville Original's corn syrup + dextrose tail.
DoDo Signature / SG60 Yellowtail Jumbo, claimed as “80% yellowtail fusilier, no preservatives, no added starch”, has no verbatim pack list retrievable online.
Most everyday SG cooked hams are pork + sugar + nitrite + phosphates; Jill's Smoked Ham is the shortest SG list (no nitrite, no starch, no added sugar listed).
Nitrite in 8 of 9; Little Farms chorizo is the exception (nitrate-free, 8 ingredients, no sweetener). The halal chicken frankfurter shelf is large and almost entirely unverified.
SG shelf dominated by Fortune and Unicurd; coagulants are overwhelmingly calcium sulfate + GDL; tempeh lists are the shortest (beans + water + Rhizopus).
Fresh chicken sold in Singapore supermarkets is a single-ingredient product: chicken. There is no ingredient list to compare, because there is nothing added — no water, no salt, no marinade, no preservative is printed on a fresh chicken pack.
Fresh beef sold in Singapore supermarkets is a single-ingredient product: beef. There is no ingredient list to compare, because there is nothing added.
Fresh pork sold in Singapore supermarkets is a single-ingredient product: pork. There is no ingredient list to compare, because there is nothing added.
Marinated meat is raw meat plus a marinade — and the marinade is where the ingredients are. A plain chicken breast has one ingredient; the same breast marinated has ten or twenty, and the second ingredient is very often sugar.
Smoked salmon is salmon (or salmon trout) cured with salt and a little sugar, then smoked. The lists on this page are short — fish, salt, sugar, smoke, plus the flavouring for the flavoured variants.
Sashimi and sushi packs sold in Singapore supermarkets are single-ingredient fish, plus the sushi pack's rice and accompaniments where they are part of the pack.
In Singapore, canned chicken is almost entirely Ayam Brand's pulled-chicken range: shredded cooked chicken in a flavoured sauce, sold in 150 g cans at FairPrice and Sheng Siong.
Dried seafood in Singapore is mostly sold loose or in plain house-brand bags with no ingredient list at all — a bag of dried scallops is, in ingredient terms, dried scallops.
Frozen fruit in Singapore is a small shelf: single-fruit bags (mango, berries) that are one ingredient, mixed-fruit bags with a few acids for colour, and Sambazon's açaí packs — the one product on this page with added sugar and a hidden caffeine source.
Frozen desserts here means frozen desserts other than ice cream — chiefly mochi ice cream, which is the frozen dessert with a real Singapore shelf presence (Little Moons, My/Mochi, Koyuki and others at FairPrice, Cold Storage and Donki).
Frozen bread and pastry in Singapore is a thin, import-led shelf: French frozen croissants (Délifrance), gluten-free frozen croissants (Schär), foodservice mini croissants (Europastry), and Singapore-made frozen mantou (Oriental Fortune).
Frozen rice in Singapore is dominated by Bibigo's Korean-style fried rice (vegetable, chicken, shrimp, bulgogi beef, kimchi cheese) and CP's frozen ready meals with rice (nasi lemak and others).
Frozen noodles and pasta meals in Singapore are CP's spaghetti ready meals, Nissin's frozen pasta range, and a long tail of FairPrice-listed frozen pasta (beef bolognese, chicken alfredo, beetroot shrimp pasta, Taiwan beef ramen).
A frozen patty can be almost pure meat, or mostly textured vegetable protein with a little meat for flavour — and the pack name rarely tells you which.
A spring roll is pastry plus filling, and the filling is where the products diverge: Spring Home's prawn roll is 31% prawns, while its chicken roll is only 6% chicken and mostly cabbage.
Plain Ayam tomato sardines (Light) have no added sugar; flavoured versions add sugar and palm oil. Del Monte 'Made in Japan' range (5 flavours) added 5 Nov 2026 — Lemon is the saltiest on the page at 1.9g salt/100g.
Italian cans (Mutti, Strianese, Biona) list no calcium chloride, while American cans (Hunt's, Del Monte, S&W) all list calcium chloride plus citric acid.
Canned and carton coconut milk is one of the most confusing shelves in the supermarket, because the same brand sells the same name in different strengths: a 270 ml can at 89% coconut extract, a 200 ml carton at 74%, a "trim" version at 48%, and a cream at 100%.
A dried egg noodle is wheat flour, egg, salt and water — plus, in the Singapore brands, the alkaline salts that give the noodle its spring and yellow colour.
Udon and soba look alike on the shelf but are different noodles: udon is thick wheat noodles with salt; soba is buckwheat noodles — and most dried "soba" is mostly wheat flour, with buckwheat second.
Couscous and quinoa sit together on the shelf but are different foods: couscous is pasta — tiny balls of durum wheat semolina — while quinoa is a seed (a pseudocereal), naturally gluten-free.
Dried barley and millet are single-ingredient products: the pack contains one grain and nothing else. That makes this the shortest ingredient page in the batch — but the names are the trap.
Canned mushrooms and peas are the plainest cans on the shelf: mushroom or peas, water, salt — and sometimes citric acid, sometimes sugar, sometimes a colour.
Grade word is the product — extra virgin is one ingredient; “pure/light” are refined + extra virgin blends; pomace is refined pomace oil + extra virgin.
Kikkoman Naturally Brewed (water, soya beans, wheat, salt) vs Singapore light soy (Tai Hua adds sugar second + sodium benzoate) vs kecap manis (sugar first).
BBQ sauce is tomato, sugar and smoke — and the sugar is the story. In the UK-recipe sauces sold in Singapore (Bull's-Eye, Heinz Classic) sugar is the second ingredient and total sugars run to about a third of the bottle.
Sweet chilli sauce and sriracha share a bottle shape and almost nothing else. Sweet chilli is sugar first — Mae Ploy is 46% sugar — with chilli second.
Sambal is chilli, oil and something savoury — and that something is what defines each jar. Sambal belacan is chilli with shrimp paste; sambal chilli prawn is chilli with prawn; sambal ikan bilis is chilli with anchovies; vegetarian sambal is chilli with nothing animal at all.
This page covers cooking tomato products — passata (sieved, uncooked tomato purée) and tomato sauce (cooked, seasoned sauce) — not ketchup and not canned whole or chopped tomatoes, which have their own pages.
Pesto alla Genovese is basil, cheese, pine nuts, garlic and olive oil — and the jarred versions on the Singapore shelf replace most of the olive oil with sunflower oil, swap pine nuts for cashews, and add potato flakes, corn fibre and whey powder to keep it cheap and stable.
Two very different oils share this page because they share a shelf: coconut oil (solid below about 24°C, very high in saturated fat, coconut aroma unless refined) and avocado oil (liquid, mild, high smoke point).
Salt is the one category where the ingredient is the product. A plain salt lists one thing — sodium chloride, as sea salt, rock salt or refined table salt — and the differences are grain size, whether iodine or an anti-caking agent was added, and where it was mined or evaporated.
Baking soda and baking powder look alike and do opposite jobs in different ways. Baking soda is one chemical — sodium bicarbonate — and it needs an acid in the batter (buttermilk, vinegar, lemon, cocoa) to make gas.
Baking chocolate is chocolate built to survive the oven: chips and chunks that hold their shape in a cookie, and callets and blocks that melt for ganache and moulding.
Sprinkles are sugar with a job: they decorate. A hundreds-and-thousands sprinkle is mostly sugar and starch with colour; a chocolate rice sprinkle adds cocoa; a snowflake sprinkle is 84% sugar with palm fat.
Vanilla is the most mislabelled flavour on the baking shelf, and this page exists to show it. A pure vanilla extract is vanilla beans steeped in alcohol and water — two or three ingredients, and the beans are the point.
Icing and frosting are two ways of finishing a cake, and the tub tells you which. Icing sugar is the dry starting point — powdered sugar plus a little cornstarch to stop it clumping — which you mix with water, milk or butter yourself.
Three different desserts share this shelf. Milk pudding is a set milk dessert — water, sugar, milk solids and a stabiliser, with egg yolk in the custard-caramel version.
Only Tropicana Pure Premium No Pulp was a one-ingredient juice; now 7 more NFC/blend rows added 5 Nov 2026 (Natural One, Homegrown, Florida's Natural). Ripe still needs a pack photo.
Ripe “100% Fruit Juice — Cranberry” lists high fructose corn syrup second — name and list disagree, trust the list. Re-audit added Rabenhorst Pure Cranberry Juice — a verified SG list, a single ingredient, “Cranberry Juice” — plus Lakewood Organic Pure and Ocean Spray Pure Unsweetened.
Meiji Low Fat High Protein Milk (widely sold at FairPrice/7-Eleven) could not be panelled — CP-Meiji SG gives descriptions only, Thai lists deliberately not used.
Coconut water sold in Singapore is either 100% coconut water (one ingredient), coconut water from concentrate (water plus concentrate, sometimes with a little added sugar), or a coconut-water drink with fruit puree, coconut milk or added sugar — and the front of the carton rarely makes the distinction clear.
Meal replacement shakes are not the same as protein shakes. A meal replacement is a complete, balanced formula — protein, carbohydrate, fat, fibre, and a full vitamin and mineral blend — designed to replace a meal, and in the case of Optifast VLCD, a very-low-calorie diet under medical supervision.
Protein powder is not a meal replacement — it is mainly protein, with far less carbohydrate, fat, fibre and micronutrients than a meal replacement shake (see the meal replacement page for that comparison).
Wine is the thinnest ingredient list in this project: most wine labels do not print a full ingredient list at all. What they do print is the grape variety, the country/region of origin, the ABV, and the allergen statement "contains sulphites" (sulphur dioxide).
Ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails are the hardest alcohol shelf to panel honestly: most cans and bottles print no full ingredient list, only the spirit base, the flavour, the ABV and an allergen line.
Sugar first in almost every bar; “dark” does not mean dairy-free (Lindt Mint Dark contains milk fat); Lotte Zero is sugar-free but has one of the longest lists.
Seaweed snacks in Singapore are mostly one brand — Tao Kae Noi (Thailand) — in three formats: crispy seaweed (fried sheets), Big Roll (grilled seaweed rolls) and tempura seaweed (batter-coated).
Two different snacks share this shelf. Jerky is dried, seasoned meat — beef here, sold by Jack Link's and others — where the list is beef first, then sugar, salt, soy sauce, yeast extract and smoke flavouring.
A cheese cracker is a baked wheat cracker flavoured with cheese — either cheese baked into the cracker itself, or a cheese-cream filling sandwiched between two crackers.
An ice lolly (ice pop) is frozen flavoured water ice — water, fruit juice and sweeteners, set with stabilisers — with no dairy at its centre, unlike ice cream on a stick.
Chewing gum and mints share a shelf and a job — fresh breath — but they are built differently. A sugar-free gum is mostly sweeteners (sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, aspartame, acesulfame K) holding a gum base together.
On the Singapore shelf, baby purees are sold as squeeze pouches (Heinz, Gerber, Ella's Kitchen, Rafferty's Garden) and glass jars (Heinz, Hipp, Bellamy's).
Baby cereal is a dry instant cereal, mixed with milk or water, sold as a first solid food. On the Singapore shelf the category is dominated by Nestlé Cerelac (rice, wheat, and mixed variants, with and without milk), plus Heinz porridge and imported Gerber, Bellamy's and Hipp cereals.
On the Singapore shelf, baby and toddler snacks are puffs (Gerber Puffs, Gerber Lil' Crunchies), rusks (Heinz Farley's Rusks), biscotti (Heinz So Yummy), and rice rusks and teething biscuits (Pigeon, Wakodo).
On the Singapore shelf, toddler milk is sold as growing-up milk powder (Friso Gold, S-26 Progress Gold, Enfagrow A+, Similac Gain, NAN Optipro, Dumex Dugro, Abbott Grow) and as nutritional supplements (PediaSure Gold, for children 1–10 years).
Dog food is sold as dry kibble and wet cans/pouches, for puppies, adults and seniors, and in breed-size variants. This page covers adult dry dog food sold in Singapore — the largest part of the shelf — with wet food and life-stage variants noted where a list was retrieved.
Cat food is sold as wet pouches and cans (in gravy or jelly) and dry kibble, for kittens, adults and seniors. This page covers adult wet cat food sold in Singapore — the largest part of the shelf — led by Whiskas, with dry food and other brands noted where a list was retrieved.
On the Singapore shelf, pet treats are dominated by dental sticks and chews (Pedigree Dentastix, Greenies, Whimzees, Purina Dentalife) and cat treats (Temptations, Whiskas Temptations, Feline Greenies, Ciao Churu).
6 panelled; Dettol “Sakura Blossom” body wash does not exist on Dettol SG's own index; Lifebuoy Triclocarban claim corrected — only Moisture Plus is verified with it.
Only Pearlie White publishes full verbatim lists on its SG site; all 11 Colgate and all 12 Darlie — the two biggest SG ranges — have zero SG lists re-verified.
Only 1 panelled, and it needs a pack photo; “Mineral Based” names are unreliable — two “mineral” products contain chemical filters.

Guides
Information pages that explain the labels, rather than comparing products. Same draft status as the rest of the site — nothing published, no domain chosen.
Every name sugar and salt go by on ingredient lists; a glycemic index table for sweeteners checked against published sources (including the three numbers from a viral Instagram table that do not check out); how to read sodium on a panel (salt = sodium × 2.5); what WHO and HPB guidance actually says; and what "no added sugar" and the other front-of-pack claims mean in Singapore. No health score, no ranking, not medical advice.
The fats in plain English; why saturated and trans fat — not dietary cholesterol from eggs — are the main dietary drivers of raised LDL for most people (WHO 2023, AHA 2019); how to read saturated fat per 100 g and where the fat sits in the ingredient list; the saturated-fat share of common oils from published figures; the traps (coconut-oil halo, "vegetable oil" blends, "cholesterol-free" claims); plant sterols and stanols; Singapore's PHO ban, Nutri-Grade and Healthier Choice Symbol. No health score, no ranking, not medical advice.
Each oil in turn — palm and palm olein, coconut, olive in its grades, canola, sunflower, soybean, sesame, peanut, rice bran, avocado, grapeseed, plus butter and ghee for contrast — with its saturated-fat share and smoke point as published ranges (not single magic numbers), where it shows up on Singapore shelves, the blends and label traps ("100% pure", "vegetable oil" with no breakdown, "light" olive oil), and where oil hides when it is not the product. No ranking, no health score, not medical advice.
What an E-number is and the ranges by job; the additives that actually recur on this site's pages (MSG E621, ribonucleotides E627/E631, nitrite E250, benzoate E211, sorbates, sulphites, tartrazine E102 and Sunset Yellow E110, lecithin E322, E471, xanthan E415, carrageenan E407, citric acid E330, phosphoric acid E338, baking soda E500), each with real examples from the panelled pages; and the safety evidence weighed honestly — MSG, nitrites and nitrosamines, sulphites and asthma, the Southampton colours study — plus the label traps ("no added MSG", "no preservatives", "permitted food additives") and Singapore's SFA permitted-list rules. No verdict, no ranking, not medical advice.
Why "good cholesterol" (HDL) is a marker, not a lever — the drugs that raised it (CETP inhibitors, niacin) failed in outcome trials — and the ingredients that actually help a cholesterol profile: oat beta-glucan (3 g/day), plant sterols and stanols (~2 g/day), unsaturated fats as a swap, omega-3 for triglycerides, soy protein (contested claim), legumes and whole grains, each with its dose where the evidence gives one and real examples from this site's pages; plus what does not work (coconut oil, "HDL-boosting" supplements) and Singapore's Healthier Choice Symbol and Nutri-Grade. No health score, no ranking, not medical advice.
What gout is — uric acid past about 6.8 mg/dL forming crystals — and why diet is only part of management (ACR 2020: allopurinol first, to a target below 6 mg/dL). The foods to limit with real examples from this site's pages: organ meats, red and processed meat, sardines and mackerel, beer, and sugary drinks and fructose (no purines at all, and still a risk); a purine-numbers table that shows where the published tables disagree rather than hiding it; how cooking moves purines into broth; and the foods with evidence for helping — low-fat dairy, cherries (one good study, a guideline unconvinced), vitamin C (small effect, ACR says don't add it as therapy), coffee, and water (sensible, unproven) — plus the DASH trial, the crash-diet trap, the tofu correction, and Singapore context (4.1% prevalence, kway chap and pig organ soup). No health score, no ranking, not medical advice.
What caffeine is and how it works (adenosine, CYP1A2, half-life about 5 hours, tolerance and withdrawal); how much caffeine is in what, with the serving size stated every time — kopi 80–120 mg, teh 20–50 mg, instant coffee 27–173 mg, Red Bull 80 mg, Monster 160 mg, Milo 2.2–4.8 mg, bubble tea about 40 mg, matcha about 70 mg — in a click-to-sort table; the EFSA limits (400 mg/day, 200 mg single dose, 200 mg/day in pregnancy, 3 mg/kg/day for children) and what they mean in cups and cans; benefits and risks weighed honestly (alertness, the observational Parkinson's and diabetes associations, sleep, anxiety, pregnancy); energy drinks as a separate issue (dose at once, sugar, young people, alcohol); hidden caffeine (Panadol Extra 65 mg per caplet, chocolate, matcha, tea, supplements, guarana — including Stephen's Sambazon açaí pack observation); decaf; and Singapore context (kopi code, Nutri-Grade grades sugar not caffeine, no maximum caffeine limit). No health score, no ranking, not medical advice.
Sources and method — in brief
Checked 5–6 and 11–12 November 2026 from: brand official Singapore pages; NTUC FairPrice, Cold Storage, Giant and Sheng Siong product pages (ingredient and nutrition sections); Donki, Mustafa, Meidi-Ya, Le Petit Depot, Little Farms and RedMart listings; Lazada and Shopee Singapore listings for brands sold/delivered in Singapore; and Open Food Facts as a cross-check, never as a substitute for the pack where they disagree. Full per-fact source lists sit alongside each page as research-notes.md. Channels checked per page are stated on that page — where a chain's range could not be retrieved as text or inventoried in store, that is stated rather than claimed as complete.
