The St. Kitts and Nevis Bureau of Standards (SKNBS) issues a critical reminder to ALL
businesses, including roadside vendors, caterers, and local manufacturers:
ALL goods sold in the Federation—whether locally produced, imported, or sold
informally—must adhere to the following regulations by December 31, 2025:
- Labelling of Goods
- Labelling of Pre-packaged Food
- Labelling of Bottled Water
Key points:
Roadside vendors must label pre-packaged items with required info (e.g.,
ingredients, expiry date).
Caterers must label pre-packaged meals and beverages.
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.
