Many people welcome Nutri-grade label

26 Aug 2024

A mandatory nutrition label has been expanded for packaged salt, sauces and seasonings, instant noodles and cooking oil. Singapore residents consume about 3,620mg of sodium a day, nearly twice the daily recommended sodium limit of 2,000mg, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Health Promotion Board (HPB). Many people welcomed this move. FIRC's Senior Nutritionist Carolyn Stephen said that the Nutrition Information Panel (NIP) available at the back of a product gives more information for consumers. By looking at the label, consumers can decide whether those products are good for their health or not.
