Nutri-Grade label to be extended to instant noodles, sauces and cooking oil

Foods like instant noodles, sauces and cooking oil could soon be graded according to how much sodium and saturated fat they contain. The Health Ministry said this system will be similar to Nutri-Grade labels for sugar and saturated fat in drinks. Products that have the highest amounts of sodium and saturated fats could also be barred from advertising. A national population survey on health has shown a rising rate of hypertension among people living in Singapore. Sabrina Ng reports.

What about bakeries? Esp Japanese bakery. Some of their bread are just too sweet and they already labelled it low sugar but still it is so sweet!

Why is the government not concerned at all about microplastics?

Shouldn't Nutri Grade labelling be extended to F&B outlets, esp hawker centres where most people eat daily? Can govt think of how to incentivise hawkers to use better Nutri Grade products in their menus? Can hawkers display sodium, sugar & fat levels of each dish on their menus? Devices like sodium refractometer can measure these
