        "summary": "The Indonesian government is set to introduce Nutri-Level labelling on beverage products as an initial step to educate the public on healthy living by indicating sugar, salt, and fat (GGL) content through letters A to D and corresponding colours. This measure, mandated by the Health Law No. 17 of 2023 and Government Regulation No. 28 of 2024, requires approval from multiple ministries and will start voluntarily, addressing the high prevalence of non-communicable diseases, with 73% of deaths and nearly 11% of the population affected by diabetes or pre-diabetes. The policy dilemma highlights the challenge of balancing public health education with industry impacts.",
        "content": "<p>The head of the National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM),\nTaruna Ikrar, stated that the initial phase of implementing Nutri-Level\nlabelling will be applied to beverage products. \u201cIn the initial phase,\nwe hope to start with beverage products first because they have the\nhighest GGL nutritional values so far. Gradually, it will cover all\nproducts,\u201d said Taruna Ikrar in Jakarta on Wednesday (8\/4). The\nNutri-Level marking uses letters A to D, accompanied by colour\nindicators showing the level of GGL content. Letter A (dark green: lower\nGGL content). Letter B (light green: low GGL content). Letter C (yellow:\nshould be consumed wisely). Letter D (red: should be limited according\nto needs or health conditions). Ikrar explained that the implementation\nprocess for Nutri-Level still requires approval from the Ministry of\nHealth, Ministry of Trade, and Ministry of Law. \u201cOnce harmonised, it\nwill be recorded in the State Gazette (LN) and then applied immediately,\nalthough in the initial phase it will still be voluntary because the\nmain target of Nutri-Level is to educate our society for a healthy\nlife,\u201d he said. One important indication is that 73% of Indonesians die\nfrom non-communicable diseases. And nearly 11% of the population suffers\nfrom diabetes. Based on data from the Ministry of Health, around 31\nmillion people are pre-diabetic, and some are already diabetic. It is\nknown that the implementation of Nutri-Level is mandated by Law No.\u00a017\nof 2023 on Health and Government Regulation No.\u00a028 of 2024, which\nrequires BPOM to regulate and oversee Nutri-Level. \u201cTwo days ago, we\ndecided to use the alphabetical system and based on colours,\u201d he\nconcluded.<\/p>",
