No family should unknowingly consume industrially produced trans fats because of weak standards or unclear information. The NPM has closed thay gap with evidence. #TransFatFreeUg #TransFatFreeEAC #NutrientProfileModel

The Nutrient Profile Model is the science. Front of Pack Warning Labelling is how it reaches your hand in a shop. @MoH #CefrohtUg #FOPWL

HAPPENING NOW
The wait is no more, today Uganda officially launches its Nutrient Profile Model, a tool that classifies food according to nutrients of critical concern like salt, sugar and fats.

Consumers should not need a nutrition degree to shop safely. @MinofHealthUG turn the Nutrient Profile Model into a simple warning that any Ugandan can read in two seconds. #CefrohtUg #FOPWL

Uganda's Nutrient Profile Model is signed. Parliament can accelerate what comes next by asking the Ministry of Health for a clear timeline on FOPWL. @Parliament_Ug #CefrohtUg #FOPWL

Every constituency in Uganda has families affected by diabetes, hypertension and cancer. Front of Pack Warning Labelling is a national response to a national problem. @Parliament_Ug #CefrohtUg #FOPWL

A child's right to health outweighs a company's right to advertise. @MinofHealthUG restrict marketing of unhealthy food to children. #CefrohtUg #FOPWL

[Ferdinand MUSIKA @Ferdcurry34]

Ugandan students spend a large share of their money on packaged snacks and drinks. They deserve to know what they are buying. @MinofHealthUG #CefrohtUg #FOPWL

[Ferdinand MUSIKA @Ferdcurry34]

Your body is not a marketing target. Demand honest food information. @MinofHealthUG pass FOPWL. #CefrohtUg #FOPWL

[Ferdinand MUSIKA @Ferdcurry34]

Youth led advocacy has moved policy in Uganda before. Let us move it again on Front of Pack Warning Labelling. @MinofHealthUG #CefrohtUg #FOPWL

[Ferdinand MUSIKA @Ferdcurry34]

Uganda protected children from tobacco marketing. We can protect them from unhealthy food marketing too. @MinofHealthUG act. #CefrohtUg #FOPWL

[Ferdinand MUSIKA @Ferdcurry34]

Healthy habits start young, and they are easier to build in an environment that supports them. @MinofHealthUG restrict marketing to children. #CefrohtUg #FOPWL

[Center for Food and Adequate Living Rights Ug @CefrohtUg]

Dr. Charles Oyoo the Commissioner of Health Services–Non-Communicable Diseases @MinofHealthUG has alluded to the raising burden of NCDs like cancer, high blood pressure, overweight and obesity in Uganda stating that 1 in 4 Ugandans die prematurely before the age of 70 due to a major NCD.

Ugandans' diets are changing fast, and so are rates of diabetes, heart disease, and other diet related illnesses. Prof. Charles Muyanja of @Makerere says the solution starts on the package, clear warning labels on unhealthy food, so people can see at a glance what they're really eating.

Excess sugar consumption is linked to obesity and other non-communicable diseases. #CefrohtUG #FOPWL #WorldFoodSafetyDay2026

Nutrition information should be easy to spot and easy to understand. #CefrohtUG #FOPWL #WorldFoodSafetyDay2026
