SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Drinks with high sugar content that are sold not just by food outlets and caterers, but also in non-retail settings such as workplaces, schools and healthcare institutions, will be required to display Nutri-Grade labels from end-2023.

This applies to pre-packaged and freshly prepared drinks, and extends to those from vending machines, whether the drinks are customisable or not, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Monday.
