In a move to reduce Singaporeans’ sugar intake, the Ministry of Health and the Health Promotion Board are seeking comments from stakeholders on the proposed amendments to the Food Regulations under the Sale of Food Act, to introduce new requirements on “Nutri-Grade beverages” sold in Singapore from 30 June 2022.

The key proposals are: 
(a) A Nutri-Grade grading system to grade Nutri-Grade beverages;
(b) New requirement for Nutri-Grade beverages to have a nutrition information panel;
(c) New requirement to label Nutri-Grade beverages graded “C” or “D” with a Nutri-Grade mark on the front-of-pack of the package; and
(d) Prohibition on advertising Nutri-Grade beverages graded “D”, save at points-of-sale platforms.

The consultation closes on 26 May 2021.
