SINGAPORE – Nutri-Grade labels will be mandatory for sodium-heavy products such as salt, sauces, seasonings and instant noodles by the middle of 2027, if they are given C or D grades. This is in a bid to encourage Singaporeans to make healthier dietary choices amid high rates of chronic diseases. Like the labelling for beverages, such products will be graded A to D, with D being the least healthy choice. Products rated D, which would have the highest levels of sodium, sugar, and/or saturated fat, cannot be advertised.  The label will also be updated to highlight the ingredient of concern that results in a product’s final grade, to better help consumers understand the basis of the grade.  For example, if the sodium content for an instant noodle is graded C, but its saturated fat content is graded D, the product will have a D grade and the label will indicate the saturated fat content.
