CNA938 Rewind - From A to D – Sodium-heavy products to have Nutri-Grade labels by mid-2027
Prepacked salt, seasonings and instant noodles are among the items which will be graded from A to D from mid-2027, under an extension of Nutri-Grade requirements to key contributors of sodium and saturated fat. There'll also be advertising restrictions similar to what’s being done for drinks now. Andrea Heng and Hairianto Diman look at how much of an incentive this labelling will have on producers to innovate their food products to achieve a better grading. For this, they speak with Terence Ng, Director, Policy and Strategy Development, Health Promotion Board.
