Display calorie content of food, eateries told

PETALING JAYA: With the government intensifying its “War on Sugar”, consumer associations are calling for eateries to label the sugar and calorific content of their food and drinks.

Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations chief executive officer Saravanan Thambirajah said labelling food content, particularly sugar content in drinks, would be a proactive step in empowering consumers to make informed health decisions.
