Policies, Interventions and Actions

Mandatory nutritional labelling

On December 30, 2023, Vietnam's Ministry of Health released Circular 29/2023, which provides guidelines for mandatory nutritional labeling on food products. As of January 1, 2026, pre-packaged foods must adhere to the updated nutritional labeling requirements outlined in MOH's Circular 29/2023. These requirements encompass the labelling of nutritional ingredients and reference values for energy, protein, carbohydrates, fat, sodium, and sugar, specific to various categories of pre-packaged foods. This will replace the voluntary labelling system currently in place.
