        "summary": "Nutritionist Tan Shot Yen has urged that the implementation of the Nutri-Level labelling system in Indonesia should prioritise public health over mere business competition, emphasising the need for strict monitoring to ensure its effectiveness. The system, recently outlined in a revised regulation by the National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM), rates processed foods from A to D based on sugar, fat, and salt content to guide consumers towards healthier choices. While it could reduce consumption of unhealthy ingredients, experts highlight challenges like unregulated street foods and the proliferation of sugary beverages that may undermine its impact.",
        "content": "<p>Nutritionist Tan Shot Yen hopes that once the Nutri-Level labelling\nis implemented, it will not merely become a matter of business\ncompetition but will provide the public with good and healthy products.\n\u201cDon\u2019t let the labelling issue in Indonesia end up just being about\nbusiness competition. Moreover, this must be monitored; without\nmonitoring and supervision, the regulation will just become a joke,\u201d\nsaid Tan Shot Yen when contacted on Tuesday (7\/4). Tan Shot Yen assesses\nthat implementing Nutri-Level on packaged food and drinks could\npotentially reduce consumption of Sugar, Fat, and Salt (GGL) in society.\nHowever, what also needs attention is the easy access to purchasing GGL\nproducts that the public can obtain. \u201cIt might (reduce GGL consumption),\nbut the problem is that our society buys sweet tea on the roadside\nthat\u2019s uncontrolled, the mushrooming tea and coffee stalls, and how to\nregulate food in canteens and restaurants where sugar, soy sauce, and so\non are added,\u201d she stated. Previously, the BPOM signed the Draft\nRevision of the BPOM Regulation on Nutritional Value Information on\nProcessed Food Labels. The signed draft revision adds provisions\nregarding the inclusion of Nutri-Level on the front-of-pack nutrition\nlabelling (FOPNL). Nutri-Level is a nutritional labelling system that\nwill be implemented in Indonesia to help the public choose healthier\nfood products. Nutri-Level indicates the level of processed food based\non GGL content. The inclusion of Nutri-Level is marked with letters A to\nD, followed by colour indicators showing the level of GGL content.\nLetter A (dark green colour: lower GGL content). Letter B (light green\ncolour: low GGL content). Letter C (yellow colour: should be consumed\nwisely). Letter D (red colour: should be limited according to needs or\nhealth conditions).<\/p>",
