Policies, Interventions and Actions

Resolution to Regulate the Labeling of Manufactured Foods High in Sugar, Saturated and Trans Fats

The resolution outlines the guidelines that will dictate the labelling of foods from 2022 onwards. The front of package labelling will provide information about the sugar, saturated fat, and trans fat content of manufactured foods using the warning label by staggered dates. From 2022, there will be octagonal warning labels for sodium and for from 2026 labels for sugar, saturated fats and trans fats will be added.
