The Kenyan government is set to implement new regulations requiring manufacturers and importers of packaged food products to disclose nutritional information and include health warnings on their items.

• 90 percent of food products sold in Kenya contain excessive salt, sugar, or saturated fat, as reported by the Access to Nutrition Initiative.
• The measures come from the Ministry of Health in line with efforts to combat diet-related Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
• These regulations mirror successful policies in countries like Singapore, which banned unhealthy drink advertisements and mandated front-of-pack nutrition labeling.
