Singapore is stepping in to address the growing concerns around mystery shopping products—items that conceal their exact contents until after purchase. According to a post highlighted by Bloomberg on X, these products may encourage gambling-like behavior, especially among younger or vulnerable consumers.
As mystery shopping gains popularity worldwide, authorities in Singapore are considering new regulatory measures to:
Improve transparency around product contents
Protect consumers from addiction and financial harm
Promote responsible purchasing practices
The move reflects a broader push to balance innovation and entertainment with consumer safety. By acting early, Singapore aims to set a clear standard for how such products should be marketed and sold—without exposing shoppers to hidden risks.
🔎 A reminder that not all excitement should come with uncertainty.
