From the end of 2023, the labelling system will be applicable to freshly brewed coffee or tea, freshly squeezed juices, freshly blended smoothies, bubble tea, freshly prepared herbal drinks, and beverages dispensed from machines.Any drink with a C or D grade must display its Nutri-Grade label next to its listing on physical or online menus or sales lists. A simplified Nutri-Grade mark with the grade and sugar percentage can be used.

Before introducing the extension of labelling regulations, MOH and the Health Promotion Board said they sought feedback from over 3,000 industry stakeholders from February to March 2022. MOH and HPB aim to share full details of the measures in mid-2023, six months before they take effect. The health ministry added: “MOH and HPB will continue to work closely with the industry in the coming months to ensure a smooth transition to implement these measures.”
