Kenya is facing a growing crisis of diet-related diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity attributed to poor feeding habits.
To address this, experts recommend mandatory Front-of-Pack Warning Labels (FOPWL) as an effective strategy to promote healthier eating habits.
FOPWL are placed on food packages that warn consumers if a product contains high sugar, salt, fat, or other unhealthy ingredients.
The labels may use symbols, text, or colors to help people quickly identify unhealthy foods and make informed choices before consumption.
