SINGAPORE — After inroads were made in reducing Singaporeans’ sugar and saturated fat intake, a drive to reduce sodium consumption here is also gaining momentum.Efforts include an upcoming campaign by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) in the last quarter of 2026 that seeks to normalise the behaviour of consumers asking for less salt and sauces.The campaign also seeks to encourage consumers to choose lower-sodium options.“We need to have this ‘normalising ask’, and when more people ask for it, maybe (at) some point in future, we can do low sodium by default,” said HPB chief executive Tay Choon Hong in an interview with The Straits Times.Coupled with the Nutri-Grade labelling scheme introduced in end-2022 for pre-packaged beverages, and subsequently expanded to include freshly prepared beverages a year later, more consumers have shifted towards healthier drinks.Under the scheme, drinks with less sugar content and/or lower saturated fat are graded A and B, and may voluntarily carry the Healthier Choice Symbol.Drinks that exceed a specific threshold are graded C and D, with an advertising ban for those graded D.

Three seconds may be all you need to pick up fallen food, but any kind of contamination requires far less.The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has rubbished the urban legend of the «three-second rule» in a Linkedin post on Sunday (June 21) - a common myth claiming that food dropped is still safe to eat if it is picked up within that time frame.The agency was responding to a viral video shared on TikTok by user Rina57521 on May 27 showing a diner pick up noodles dropped on a coffeeshop table and eating them.In the video, the diner uses chopsticks to pick at a few strands of noodles on a table, accidentally dropping it in an attempt to scoop them up.Undaunted, the diner picks up the noodles in a second, more successful attempt, putting the noodles in their mouth.«Come on, please don't do this,» SFA wrote in their post.«Once food is dropped on an unclean tabletop, the surface of the food item would have been contaminated by bacteria.»And there is no such thing as the «three second rule» either…"Online, users also seemed to agree with SFA's perspective on the matter.
