Food labels should be straightforward and comprehensible to all consumers—regardless of age, education, or background. We therefore call upon the Ministry of Health to urgently adopt and implement a Nutrient Profiling Model

This policy tool is to enhance the visibility of nutritional information, for consumers to easily identify products high in sugar, salt, or fat.
