Extension of Nutri-Grade measures to key contributors of sodium and saturated fat
Singapore
Jun 16, 2025
From mid-2027, the Ministry of Health (MOH) will extend Nutri-Grade labelling requirements and advertising prohibitions to key contributors of sodium and saturated fat intake. These measures will apply to 23 sub-categories of prepacked salt, sauces, seasonings, instant noodles, and cooking oils (SSSIO) sold in retail settings.
Key features of the extended measures include:
(a) Differentiated grading system for SSSIO products
SSSIO products must be graded “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, according to the Nutri-Grade grading system, which is based on the levels of nutrients of concern within each product sub-category.
(b) Update to the Nutri-Grade label
The Nutri-Grade label will be updated to call out the nutrient of concern that results in the product's final grade, whether it is the primary or secondary nutrient. This helps consumers better understand the basis behind the products' grade, to make more informed choices. The updated label design will also apply to beverages.
(c) Advertising prohibitions for SSSIO products graded “D”
Similar to beverages, advertisements promoting the sale of SSSIO products graded “D” will be prohibited to reduce the influence of advertising of these products on consumer choices. This will apply to advertising across both the online and physical spaces.
