Understanding how much sugar and saturated fat (饱和脂肪) is in your drink can be confusing. Many of us end up having too much without realizing it. Saturated fat is often added into drinks to improve their “mouth-feel”. But having too much of both sugar and saturated fat can increase your risk of diabetes (糖尿病). Too much sugar can also lead to obesity (肥胖).
Nutri-Grade “grades” your drinks based on their sugar and saturated fat levels. Think of this as a score. Drinks graded “A” have the lowest sugar and saturated fat content, while drinks graded “D” have the highest.
Starting from the end of 2023, all drinks sold in Singapore must put a Nutri-Grade label (标签) on the drinks, according to sugar and saturated fat levels.
To manage your sugar and saturated fat intake, drink less Nutri-Grade C and D drinks and go for healthier choice or Nutri-Grade A or B drinks or simply choose water.
