Homemade Festive Food Sales Exempt from Price Controls

Homemade cookies and food products prepared for sale during festive seasons are exempt from the price control order. The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs will not enforce actions under the Price Control (Labelling By Manufacturers, Importers, Producers or Wholesalers) Order 1980 for these specific homemade items.
Exemption for Festive Season Products

The exemption specifically covers food items prepared in a home setting for sale during festive periods. This measure acknowledges the demand for such products during these times, enabling sellers to generate additional income.
Scope of Exemption

This particular exemption does not extend to factories or companies engaged in larger-scale food manufacturing. The distinction is maintained between individual home-based preparations and commercial food production operations.
Ministry's Stance and Enforcement

The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs has clarified its position on this matter. Officials have been alerted to ensure that enforcement actions under the Price Control (Labelling By Manufacturers, Importers, Producers or Wholesalers) Order 1980 are appropriately applied, excluding genuine homemade festive food sales.
