OpenAI - "Summarise this article in 5 points"

Here are five key points from the article:

1. Singaporeans consume excessive salt, sauces, instant noodles, and cooking oil, increasing health risks.

2. These products will soon display Nutri-Grade labels (A to D) to indicate their healthiness.

3. Nutri-Grade labels, previously used for beverages, led to reduced sugar intake.

4. The Ministry of Health will consult with the industry on nutrient thresholds for the new labels.

5. Public education efforts will intensify, and hawker centers will be encouraged to use lower-sodium products.

My Thoughts

  • This is an important issue with our ageing population.
  • I think the Nutri-Grade label is quite effective. I do tend to select healthier choices due to the labels. Psychological effect, always must get A πŸ˜‚
  • Chefs in hawker centers or coffee shops need to do their part. Please do not increase prices with this change...
